    Fascinated By The Word

    Contributed by Ed Warfield on Apr 15, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,668 views

    God is a full-fledged Father filled with emotion who longs for me to come into alignment with His heart so that He can lavish His extravagant affection on me. His Word is the pathway to this experience.

    Fascinated By The Word – Proverbs 2:1 Intro.: Most people see God as a stoic, detached Being that silently watches humanity from far away. The truth is that He is a full-fledged Father filled with emotion and who longs for, loves and even desires me and who patiently waits for me to come ...read more

    If you are down in the dumps, it may be because you have too much going in your life that takes you away from God. Do as Jesus did, slow down and pray.

    Okay. What should I do? Sometimes I get so discouraged, embittered, and apathetic that I feel like I will never get out of the bottom of the valley. I am amazed that I even managed to make it to worship this morning. This “Death Valley” seems to be never ending. The sand of bitterness blinds ...read more

    Distractions In Prayer And God’s Transcendence: Still, Small Voice

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 23, 2017
     | 2,852 views

    The voice of Jesus that speaks in the gospel pages is the same voice that hides in the language of divine silence. But if we do not hear the one, we are unlikely to hear the other

    “We initiate a time of prayer sensibility when we prostrate ourselves before God in adoration. We bow in adoration because of two truths—our own nothingness and God’s infinite goodness. The act of adoring God prepares our soul for the God who remains hidden always even as we meet him. His ...read more

    Benefits Of Meditation

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jun 17, 2018
     | 4,567 views

    There is a link between mediation and attentional functions and cognitive flexibility instead of giving an automatic response. Often we best represent the presence of Christ not just in moments of scheduled ministry.

    16B In the Catholic Church, an officiating priest or deacon says, "The Lord be with you" and the congregation responds by saying, "And with thy spirit." However, an older, recently outdated, response from the congregation used to be, “And also with you". So there was a Catholic priest who always ...read more

    How do we experience real worship and what do we take away from the experience?

    One Sunday a woman came to the pastor and thanked him for the sermon he had preached. He said, "Don't thank me, thank God." She said, "Well, I thought of that, but it wasn't quite that good." Too often we approach the worship service with our eyes on the preacher, the worship leader, the choir, or ...read more
