    Does The Bible Teach Meditation?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Apr 12, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 754 views

    There is a resurgence of the word 'meditate' being used in churches today about personal devotional prayer as a way to draw closer to God as a person contemplates His divine attributes.

    Many 'techniques' have risen to help people along the path of daily sanctification by learning how to pray and worship, which has resulted in something called contemplative spirituality, also known as meditation, centering, or listening prayer, using imagination and visualization. Since ...read more

    Love Takes Work

    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Sep 4, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,638 views

    Love is something we have to work at. It doesn't just instantly happen. Love at first sight can often be cured with a second look! We are not meant to FALL in love with anyone. We are meant to GROW in love. Growing in love is like planting a garden, it takes a lot of hard work.

    The Bible is a book of signs and wonders. And when God did miracles through his son Jesus Christ here on earth, what it did was it made cynical people into saints. The doubters, who saw Lazarus come out of a grave, no longer doubted that Jesus Christ had the power over death. They just saw it and ...read more

    I want to equip our church family in speaking intelligently and compassionately about abortion. I don’t have a Republican agenda here today as much as I have a kingdom of God agenda.

There is a widespread divide regarding the issue of abortion … people are not indifferent regarding this contested issue. Even now, bringing the very ...read more
