Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on May 13, 2024

The Church has been missing a valuable tool in fighting oppression. The authority of Christ remains on our lips.

A Call To Make Him Known

Contributed by Rev Silvester David on Jul 2, 2025

The call of the prophet Jeremiah reminds us the very reason why God has called each of us. He has a purpose in calling us and setting us aside for His glory.

The Myth Of Balance And The Call Of Christ

Contributed by Antonio Manaytay on Oct 28, 2025

True peace is not found in trying to balance life’s demands, but in surrendering every part of our lives to Christ, who brings divine order when we seek first His Kingdom.

Beloved, if you scroll through social media or browse the self-help section in any bookstore today, you’ll see this repeated message: “Find balance.” “Work-life harmony.” “Don’t let one thing take over the other.” We are told that a balanced life is the key to peace and happiness. And yet, have ...read more

Moses: From Contentment To Calling

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

Self-help says “look within” for happiness; Scripture says contentment comes from being humbled by God and satisfied in Christ. In Moses we’ll see that contentment often precedes calling, stays active (not complacent), and resists complaining—because Christ is enough.

Let me ask you a simple question, “Are you content?” I saw a self-help based article on the Internet that suggested contentment can be found by catching yourself thinking “life sucks,” and stopping such thinking. It continued that contentment is found by cultivating a thankfulness for “little ...read more

When Doubt Is Called Proof

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 27, 2025

True prophets invite testing; a claim that denial proves authenticity is a closed loop and never the biblical measure of God’s voice.

Opening – The Self-Proving Prophet Let me start with a single, startling sentence: > “One proof I have that I am a prophet of God is if you deny that it is so.” Let it sink in. It sounds clever at first, like a riddle that wins no matter how you answer. If you agree, the claim is ...read more
