    Webster’s dictionary defines prevailing as having superior force or influence. When we think of prayer as believers, as children of God do you describe your prayer life as having superior force or influence with God? I believe one thing that will mark a person who has influence with men and ...read more

     | 7,852 views

    We have been called by God to love Him, to love one another, and with Christian love to serve others with the intent of sharing the good news of God’s love with them. Paul’s treatise on love in 1 Corinthians 13 gives us insight as to how we are to love.

    CALLED TO LOVE I Corinthians 13:1-13 "Love is the medicine for the sickness of the world.” So said noted psychiatrist Dr. Karl Meninger. He summarized his therapeutic approach this way: “Love cures. It cures those who give it and it cures those who receive it.” We have been ...read more

James May In this most extraordinary year of 2020 there are many who are living in fear almost as though they are under a death sentence if they get around other people who they are not associated with all of the time.

    A reflection on the appropriateness of thanksgiving and glorifying God, even in the midst of intense personal suffering. Contrasted with the First World expectation of self-actualization.

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 15, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 952 views

    Jonah’s disobedience and rebellion stemmed from an ungrateful heart. The Israelites too had to wander in the wilderness because of their constant grumbling and lack of thankfulness. Let’s learn to set aside all grumbling and replace it with a thankful heart.

    We read in Jonah 3:1-3, “Then the LORD spoke his word to Jonah a second time. He said, "Leave at once for the important city, Nineveh. Announce to the people the message I have given you." Jonah immediately went to Nineveh as the LORD told him. Nineveh was a very large city. It took three ...read more
