The Answer To Worry

Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Jan 28, 2013

People are more susceptible to stress during this season than any other. Primarily, this is because we become so much busier this time of year. We have ...read more

Prayer

Contributed by Greg Nance on Aug 14, 2013

Acts 12 has both answered and unanswered prayers within it. We tend to like it better when we get a "yes" from heaven, but God might actually be doing greater things for us when the answer is "no."

They pray night and day and are joined in prayer by hundreds of others asking God to spare the life of ...read more

Christmas was approaching and he wanted to ask God for certain Christmas presents he badly wanted. He began his letter with these words: “I’ve been good for six months now.” But then ...read more
