Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 14, 2022

Spiritual Renewal: Raising Lazarus From The Dead

Contributed by Christian Jones on Jun 3, 2023

Through the power of God, Lazarus was brought back to life after being dead for days. Let us explore five key points from this miraculous story and discover how they relate to us spiritually.

God Is Not A God Of Confusion

Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 7, 2023

We must not imagine that the confusion roiling western culture is because of God. Having rejected the Lord, civilization is confused, and without hope of being set right without God's merciful intervention.

“God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” [1] We live in a world that is increasingly confused—confused about society, confused about the role of government, confused about the sexes, confused about God. And I could undoubtedly go on about the confusion that reigns in our world. Confusion ...read more

Why Are We Told To Grow Where We Are Planted?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 15, 2023

We are told that believers should be content where they are and abide with God. We are to Bud, Bloom, Blossom and be Blissful wherever we are. It takes time for us to get to where God wants us to be.

If we are faithful in what God has called us to do, we will be brought up (budding). God has a plan, and He is preparing for us to bloom. God brings us through trials in order for us to blossom. We are to wait for Him while He prepares us to be in the condition that we are to be in. In this ...read more
