The Barren Fig Tree Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 2, 2018

Live Out Thy Life Within Me Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025

Dying daily is surrendering control so Christ’s life may flow freely—trusting His Spirit, not our feelings, to guide every moment.

The light of Christ does not eliminate darkness, but restores orientation—revealing what is true when perception is distorted and certainty feels misleading.
