Shouts From The Savior

Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 19, 2018

A Man On Mission

Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 24, 2018

Whether the Lord prompts you to do something remarkable or to be faithful in the routine, do all you can with all that you have for His glory alone. Most of what God asks us to do is routine but there are other times He calls us to do the remarkable.

Indescribable And Knowable

Contributed by Brian Bill on Jul 1, 2018

The way we get to know God is by studying His interests and attributes, His character and His characteristics. An attribute is what you “attribute to someone.” Specifically, God’s attributes are those character qualities that uniquely define who He is.

How do you really know what someone is like? You can start by looking at what their interests are. For instance, it would be very easy to conclude that I’m a Packers fan by looking at the sweet swag I’ve accumulated over the years. I received this Green Bay Bobble Head that actually has my ...read more
