    The Three Places

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 1, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 327 views

    In this journey of faith there are three places that we can find ourselves in – a place of bondage, a place of wandering or a place of promise. Each of us can introspect to see where we are and move forward in faith to reach the place of promise, to fulfill God’s purposes

    Today’s meditation is based on Joshua 21:43, “So the LORD gave all of the land to Israel that he had promised to give their ancestors, and they took possession and settled there in it.” (ERV) The Lord gave the people of Israel the land that he had promised to their ancestors, and they duly took ...read more

    Any Old Bush Will Do

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 29, 2025
     | 566 views

    The bush God chose on Horeb was a worthless, fruitless bush that only stuck you with a thorn if you got close, yet God used it (by His holy presence) to deliver Israel and reveal His power to the world! If He can use that, He can use us!

    ANY OLD BUSH WILL DO Ex. 3:1-10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. President Bush was going through an airport when he saw a man who looked like Moses. He asked him, "Are you Moses?" The man acted as if he didn't hear. 2. He asked him again, "Are you Moses?" The man refused to look ...read more

     | 1,056 views

    David knew God’s heartbeat at its best. He was a worshiper, gifted songwriter, and musician, creating many worshipful moments in the presence of God. He was called a man after God’s own heart.

    Opening illustration: While ministering in the Middle East, my wife, Maureena, and I experienced the heartbeat of God almost every day. We were so blessed to have heard Him speak and guide us along life’s path. As we followed after His heart and heeded His voice, He would bring about many blessings ...read more

    Power Of His Touch

     | 1,158 views

    No one is too troubled or unclean to be touched by Jesus. Jesus still welcomes outcasts today. Whom can you welcome in today? How many people have you touched with the Love of Jesus?

    Opening illustration: Commuters on a Canadian Metro train witnessed a heart-moving conclusion to a tense moment. They watched as a 70-year old woman gently reached out and offered her hand to a young man whose loud voice and disturbing words were scaring other passengers. The lady’s kindness calmed ...read more

    How can revival take place when the church is dead and there is no voice to speak life into them? Such is the state of affairs of the churches today.

    Opening illustration: A U.S. Lutheran bishop tells of visiting a parish church in California and finding a stirring red and orange banner on the wall. “Come Holy Spirit. Hallelujah!” it declared in words printed under a picture of a fire burning. The bishop was also interested in the sign directly ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 29, 2024
     | 937 views

    Governments and rulers and institutions and people have turned away from God. Why is that we might wonder? Has the message been passed from one generation to another? Have the churches been faithful in relaying the gospel, or has Christianity become something infused into the culture?

    Pray

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on May 6, 2024
     | 837 views

    The great thing is that as Christians, we don't have to wait until there is proclamation, or wait for a certain day in order to pray. The call to pray is stated clearly in scripture. One place especially clear is found in II Chronicles 7:14.

    Alba 5-5-2024 PRAY II Chronicles 7:14 This past Thursday, May 2nd, was the National Day of Prayer. A bill was passed on April 17, 1952 stating that: “The President shall set aside and proclaim a suitable day each year, other than a Sunday, as a National Day of Prayer, on which the people of ...read more

    How will you die? Physically? Spiritually? Learn how to die through the words of Stephen.

    5.12.24 Acts 7:59–60 (EHV) 59 While they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!” 60 Then he fell to his knees and cried out in a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” After he said this, he fell asleep.
