Hope When The Election Doesn't Go Your Way

Contributed by Don Schultz on Oct 31, 2014

Remember who's in charge - someday Jesus will reveal it

Last week Tuesday was an election day. I'm always relieved when the election is over. I think all the commercials and mailings and telephone calls and door to door people can be exhausting sometimes. Other people might like that sort of thing. 2 years from today, almost, is the presidential ...read more

Change

Contributed by James Webster on Feb 8, 2013

I lived long enough to learn one thing about myself, I don't like change

I have lived long enough to realize one thing about myself, “I do not like change.” Every time I look in the mirror, I see change. Every time I open the newspaper I read about the changing times we are living in. When I listen to the news both locally and nationally I am reminded ...read more

Attitudes Of Change And The Word Of God Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 15, 2016

The Word of God can be unifying, but it can also divide, so we need to ask God what attitudes we must change and for the grace to make that change.

Thursday of the 28th Week in Course 2016 Joy of the Gospel The beautiful prayer that St. Paul gives us in his letter to the Ephesians is our first reading today, but it seems to contrast with the words of Jesus we find in the Gospel. Paul is asking us to allow Christ to dwell in our hearts through ...read more

Believers Need To Avoid Being Double Minded! Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Jul 18, 2019

A double-minded person is one who says one thing and does another, they claim to know God and yet their actions do not live up to such claims.

He thinks about two different things at the same time and can't make up his mind about anything; they are dually focused and have split opinions on the same subject. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do. James 1:8. It is God who ...read more

Reflection B.14 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? / Daniel 7, Daniel’s Fourth Beast And The Horn Which Made War With The Saints

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 11, 2020

Daniel anticipates persecution of 'the saints' to an extent that he describes it as war. Some commentators today have used the word 'war' or 'genocide' to describe persecution of Christians today. Daniel's prophecy seems to be fulfilled.

Today we move on to Daniel. We’re familiar with many of the stories in the first half of Daniel, the fiery furnace, the lion’s den, and so on. But we’re less familiar with the material in the second half. Daniel has a lot to say about ‘End Times’. One thing that Daniel tells us is that there ...read more

Bearing Up Under Adversity

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 11, 2020

The LORD is always at work for His prayerful praising people.

BEARING UP UNDER ADVERSITY. Psalm 18:1-19. The superscription tells us that this is “a Psalm of David”, dating it to “the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul” (cf. 2 Samuel 22:1).

Calling

Contributed by Mary G. on Dec 10, 2020

We can have whichever vocation we want if it is not sinful and is working wholeheartedly for God while walking in love (if we haven't already heard clearly from God regarding a path we need to be on). We are free in Christ.

Some Christians want to be rigid regarding their calling/vocation. I learned differently at Christian Counseling School. God does not call us to rigidity. It is unhealthy. We are free in Christ (Holy Bible, New International Version, 1973/2011, Galatians 5:11 ). We can have whichever vocation we ...read more

A CALL TO SILENCE. Zephaniah 1:7; Zephaniah 1:12-18. Speaking during the reign of king Josiah of Judah, Zephaniah spends a lot of energy outlining a universal judgment against the whole earth (Zephaniah 1:1-3), INCLUDING Judah and Jerusalem (Zephaniah 1:4-6). “Hold thy peace,” he cries, “for ...read more
