The 153 Fish Wake-Up Call Series

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

As seasons shift, many of us need a reset with Jesus. John 21 shows the risen Christ meeting drifting disciples, filling empty nets, and inviting them to “come and have breakfast.” This isn’t box-checking; it’s returning to the One who seeks us, provides for us, and re-commissions us.

Can you feel it in the air? That subtle shift as summer fades into fall? Me either. But somehow every single store in all of existence seems to feel it as they’re already putting out Christmas decorations. I think by next year we’re going to see combo-fireworks stands selling candy canes and ...read more

When Will This Thing Die?

Contributed by Herson Gonzalez on Sep 11, 2005

I grew up Shadow Boxing. All my life I was taught that whenever something happened to me, it was the devil working against me. So when something would go wrong, I would put up my fists and turn around only to find my own shadow.

When will this thing Die? Bibles Ready? Notebooks Ready? Psalms 41: 5 My enemies say of me in malice, "When will he die and his name perish?" 6 Whenever one comes to see me, he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander; then he goes out and spreads it abroad. ...read more

Go! And Trust What You Cannot Yet See Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Jul 23, 2025

Have you ever tried to put together a jigsaw puzzle without the picture on the box? That’s what life often feels like. We see pieces, scattered moments, events, and emotions—some bright and beautiful, others dark and painful—and we wonder how they fit together.

The Eternal Destiny Of Those Who've Never Heard The Gospel Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Charles Spurgeon was once asked his opinion about those who had never heard of Jesus or the gospel. His response sting rings true today: “How can they be saved without ever hearing about Jesus? We should rather ask, how can we be saved if we do nothing to take the gospel to them?”

What is the fate of those who have never heard the gospel? What about the innocent person in a far-away land that has never heard of Jesus? Are they thrown into hell even if they haven’t heard of Jesus? Another way of asking this question is this: how does God deal with people who have different ...read more

Still Behind The Veil

Contributed by Jonathan Busch on Aug 13, 2002

Sometimes we throw a veil over God in our lives. Lifting it when we need Him…and covering Him when we don’t.He becomes a Spiritual Jack in the Box. We do this because we do not want God’s Glory reflected in our lives at inopportune times.
