    There is something about being surrounded by death that makes us contemplate life in a very honest way. God uses a kind of cemetery full of bones to illustrate the need for the Holy Spirit in our lives.

Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Joel 2:28 NIV [ The Day of the LORD ] And afterward, I will pour out my ...read more

    I share my story about a time I faced pancreatic issues, marital struggles, and contemplating suicide. As with the Psalmist, I cried out to God and he heard and that began a lifetime of service.

    A Simple, Difficult And Necessary Question; A Christmas Reflection

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Dec 26, 2012
     | 2,757 views

    It’s Spiritually necessary for us to contemplate our journey with God and ask one simple question with huge implications. “Have I sold out my life for Jesus?”

    I enjoy a Christmas Eve service. I find it ironic though that most of us perceive this service as being a quiet and reflective time. Of course Christmas is the celebration of Jesus’ birthday, so it’s great we have candles, but, don’t you find it kind of odd that we celebrate his ...read more
