The Song Of The Redeemed Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 8, 2025

Heaven’s final music joins every redeemed soul in one song of triumph—salvation completed, creation restored, and the Conductor glorified forever.

Introduction: There’s something sacred about the first song ever sung by a freed people. When Israel crossed the Red Sea, they didn’t build an altar first; they sang. They didn’t need lyrics printed or chords projected. The music came straight from relief, from gratitude, from shock. Water still ...read more

Nice Place You Got

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 9, 2025

The church becomes lovely when grace lives within her people—imperfect, forgiven hearts revealing God’s presence and beauty to a longing world.

>>The Big Hunger If you’ve ever watched the old film The Gods Must Be Crazy, you’ll remember the little Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert. Anthropologists call them the San people, but their neighbors simply say, “the Sun People.” Out there—where the sand burns your feet and the stars blanket ...read more

The Mystery Of The Missing Day

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 9, 2025

Rediscovering the gift we forgot. A day that disappeared from our calendars long before it vanished from our hearts.

Part 1 – The Beginning of Rest We live in a restless world. We measure our worth by how many emails we answer before breakfast, how many miles we drive, how many boxes we check before nightfall. The very first full day of human existence was nothing like that. The first sound Adam and Eve ever ...read more

Religious Play-Acting

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 9, 2025

Jesus frees us from religion’s stage—calling us from performance to presence, from spotlight to sunlight, to live unmasked before the Father.

Religious Play-Acting The Sermon on the Mount opens with blessing and ends with a choice: sand or rock, appearance or obedience. Between those two poles, Matthew 6 sits like a quiet heart—Jesus’ exposition of motive. Here the Lord shifts from what disciples do to why they do it. He moves from ...read more

Idol Minds

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 14, 2025

Idols seduce the mind and steal the heart, but Christ alone dethrones every false god and restores true worship, freedom, and identity.

INTRODUCTION — THE ALTAR IN THE MIND If there is one truth humanity proves in every century, in every culture, in every language, it is this: We never stop worshiping. You can strip away temples, rituals, church buildings, religious vocabulary— you can call yourself modern, enlightened, ...read more

It's Not Your Battle

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 27, 2025

God fights the battles we cannot win, turning fear into faith, valleys into blessing, and surrender into miraculous victory through His power.

INTRODUCTION — WHEN LIFE SURROUNDS YOU There comes a moment in every believer’s life when the pressure is so great, the crisis so overwhelming, that even the strongest, most seasoned saint whispers under their breath, “Lord… I can’t do this.” We might not admit it in public, but we’ve all felt it. ...read more

God Is Greater Than What You’re Facing

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 2, 2025

Jesus Christ stands as heaven’s Commander—our Defender, Champion, and Warrior—declaring in every battle that no one is like God.

Some truths must be approached quietly… not because they are fragile, but because we are. Some truths cannot be slammed on the table. They must be opened slowly, like a gift you weren’t expecting but desperately needed. Some truths do not enter the mind by force. They slip in through ...read more

Murder At The Altar

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 3, 2025

The first murder at the altar exposes the danger of unsurrendered worship, but Jesus’ blood speaks mercy, transforming Cain-like hearts through grace.

There is a sentence that sounds almost unbelievable the first time you hear it. A sentence we tend to rush past because it feels too severe, too intrusive, too revealing. But when you slow down long enough to take it seriously, it begins to open a doorway into the human heart… and into the ...read more

When Religion Collides With Revelation

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 8, 2025

Cain and Abel reveal two spiritual systems: self-made religion or grace-filled revelation. God accepts only the worship shaped by surrender to His revealed way.

Some of the most defining moments in Scripture arrive without fanfare. No thunder. No angels. No miracles that split seas or shake mountains. Just a simple scene, described with almost startling brevity, that quietly reveals the inner architecture of the human heart. The story of Cain and Abel in ...read more

Heaven Finally Gets To Cry Out

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 10, 2025

The Lamb who was slain now holds the scroll of the future. Heaven cries out in worship, and our lives rest securely in His hands.

PART ONE — THE THUNDERS OF A SILENT HEAVEN No one expected the sound. No one expected the sky of eternity to split open with a worship so overwhelming, so thunderous, so world-shaking, that it seemed to roll through the galaxies like living fire. Heaven has always worshiped. Angels have always ...read more

For Whose Sake?

Contributed by John Kapteyn on Oct 18, 2000

Satan questions why Job fears God and worships Him? Today we ask ourselves why we worship God.
