    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jul 15, 2025
     | 492 views

    God seeks ordinary people willing to pray and stand in the gap, using their faithfulness to bring hope, healing, and change to a broken world.

    Some of the greatest moments in the Bible begin with God looking for a person. Not a celebrity. Not a committee. A person. A shepherd with a sling. A teenage girl with a “yes.” A fisherman with a net. Heaven leans over the balcony and asks, “Who will stand? Who will say yes? Who will carry My heart ...read more

    Hesitation often proves disastrous, but Abraham shows us how to "take now" in responding with obedience to God.

    How many times a day do you receive the response, “Just a minute”? Perhaps you’ve asked your children to wash up and come to the dinner table or asked your spouse to lend you a hand or asked your mom or dad to read you a book or help with your homework. Many times we receive “Just a minute,” ...read more

    Every time we hear the story of God’s gift of the Christ child we should should always treasure this in our hearts and ponder the mystery of God being with us in the flesh every day. Maybe then Tiny Tim’s precious prayer will ring true: “God bless us every one,”

We listened to sermons about Him. We read about Him in the Bible when we got older. But here’s the thing … even if ...read more

    Often our lives are cluttered by the residue of past experiences, making it difficult for us to receive the full blessings of God.
