Breathe Easy With Jesus

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Dec 7, 2010

Breathe Easy With Jesus 1) Exhale your wickedness; 2) Inahle his promises

What do you do when you’re so congested that you can hardly breathe? Have you ever tried using a Neti Pot? A Neti Pot looks a bit like a tea pot. You are to fill it with warm salt water then shove the spout up one nostril while tilting your head sideways over a sink. Apparently water will ...read more

The biblical method of having a clear conscience

Raw Honesty

Contributed by Matt Hoffmann on Sep 9, 2009

"I believe, help my unbelief" is a confession of sin and of faith that takes real courage to make. In the Cross we know what God’s response to us is and forever will be.

Mark 9:14-29 Today the Word of God that engages us is from Mark chapter 9. In the middle of these verses is one God-Inspired phrase that has been a real help to me on my own journey of faith.

What's Buried Under Your Tent?

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jul 24, 2017

Like Achan we may think our sin will not be uncovered--even by God. But we need to remember that nothing can be hidden from God and the guilt of our sins still stands. This account leads us to confess our sins and turn in faith to Christ forgiveness!

Soon after they fell into sin Adam and Eve tried to hide their guilt behind coverings made of fig leaves. Later because of their sin they also vainly attempted to hide themselves from God. Adam and Eve’s son Cain thought he could hide the guilt of shedding his brother’s innocent blood by claiming ...read more

Depression - A Spiritual Malady

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 31, 2017

The Bible is clear that the most often cause of depression and accompanying anxiety is sin that goes unconfessed and unrepented.

These depressed Americans spend billions of dollars on anti-depressant drugs and billions more on psychological therapies and counseling. However, the vast majority of sufferers never ...read more

Bear One Another's Burdens Series

Contributed by John Dobbs on Jul 29, 2021

It seems natural that God’s intention for the church is that we become a community where we bear one another’s burdens.

Fellowshipping With The Father And The Son - Part 7

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Jul 30, 2020

John wanted his readers to stop denying their sin and to start confessing their sins.

(1 John 1:8 NKJV) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. John didn't want his readers to be led astray by the Gnostic heresy of sinless perfection. Last time we learned that the fact is, we do sin, and continue to say we have no sin is a sign of ...read more

When God Changes His Mind (Jonah 3:1-10) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 8, 2022

The king of Assyria knows that there's a chance that God will change his mind, and not bring about the promised judgment. God prefers to forgive, and bless. For three chapters in a row, God has shown mercy, not judgment.

The book of Jonah began in a surprising way. Yahweh called Yonah to go to Ninevah, and Yonah disobeyed. This is not what prophets do. Prophets obey. But Yonah ran the wrong direction, to the end of the known world, at Tarshish. When that didn't work, he chose death over Yahweh. He refused ...read more
