    Find Joy In Everything You Do

    Contributed by Rich Anderson on Feb 14, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,541 views

    It has been said that “Joy is the surest sign of the presence of God.” Or it has been said that “Joy is the flag that flies over the castle of our hearts announcing that the King is in residence today!”

    What is your greatest joy? Is there something that continually brings joy to you? Or, if you were to look back over your whole life to determine what brought you the greatest joy, what would it be? I believe that true joy only comes from our Creator. When our earth was formed, it was created to ...read more

    Do you remember flipping through the Sears Catalogue as a child? Which were your favorite pages? The toy section – especially the page which pictured the doll house the size of a dog house?

    We like to think about what life would be like if only our conditions changed. What we need to be thinking about is how to live well with the conditions already given.

    Introduction What would you change about your condition if you could? You know that if you changed, then you would be able to get closer to God and to serve him better. Would it be your job? Getting out of school? Perhaps you would like to change your very body – be taller or shorter, ...read more

    A Parable Of Chutzpah

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on May 3, 2015
     | 3,802 views

    We need to approach prayer with a sense of bold, unhesitating urgency--with chutzpah. We have no worries--unlike the grumpy, groggy neighbor, God never slumbers and is always happy to hear from us.

    Jesus gave His disciples the Model Prayer, and followed with a story about someone in need of “daily bread,” a parable that conveys the attitude our prayers should have—we should approach God an unhesitating sense of urgency. The story was a common situation for our Lord’s ...read more

    I once missed a great blessing. I was part of a student organization in college, and we were having a clothing drive. Our leader encouraged us to donate an article or two of clothing, but, when he did, he said, “Don’t give away something you won’t miss. Give something you really ...read more

    Paghahasik Ng Pagtatalo

    Contributed by James Dina on Aug 7, 2020
     | 3,063 views

    Ang paghahasik ng pagtatalo sa pagitan ng mga kapatid ay isang karumaldumal sa mga mata ng Panginoon. Ang pagsasaalang-alang sa iyong sarili na mas mahusay kaysa sa iba ay nagtataguyod ng dibisyon ngunit isinasaalang-alang ang iba na mas mahusay kaysa sa iyong sarili ay nagtataguyod ng pagkakaisa.

    Paghahasik ng pagtatalo "Ang taong baluktot ay naghahatid ng pagtatalo, at ang isang bulong ay naghihiwalay sa pinakamahusay na mga kaibigan" (Kawikaan 16:28) Ang mga kapatid ay nilikha ng Diyos upang manirahan sa pagkakaisa (Gaano kahusay at kaaya-aya sa mga kapatid na magkasama na ...read more

    For our meditation I wish to focus on the word ‘satisfy’. If we look around us, there are many discontented people who are not satisfied with what they have.

    Psalm 91:16, says, “You will be satisfied with a full life and with all that I do for you. For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation!” (TPT) In continuation with our study on Psalm 91, let us turn our attention to verse 16. This is the Lord’s promise to the one who makes the Lord his refuge, ...read more
