    How Do We Get Back Up When We Have Fallen Down?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 20, 2023
     | 1,600 views

    A person may slip and stumble during their spiritual walk, just like a person can trip and tumble during their physical walk. But what happens afterward?

    The genuine soul falls as an explorer may do, by faltering at some stone in his way. However, he gets up, and goes on his way with more consideration and speed. The writer might be utilizing the word “falls” not in the feeling of falling downward into transgression, yet in the feeling of being ...read more

    Rash Promises

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 12, 2025
     | 179 views

    Rash vows reveal hearts that bargain in fear, but God calls us to trust His covenant grace, where Christ’s finished work—not our promises—secures victory and freedom.

    Introduction – When a Vow Feels Like a Chain I once heard of a young businessman who, desperate to save his company from bankruptcy, blurted out a prayer late one night: “Lord, if You get me out of this mess, I’ll give away half of everything I own.” He never wrote it down or told anyone, but the ...read more

    You Before Yours

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 16, 2025
     | 86 views

    God desires the giver before the gift—when we first surrender our hearts to Him, every act of generosity, including financial giving, flows joyfully and becomes an overflow of grace.

    (God wants the giver before the gift) --- Introduction – Life Stirs Up Life Before we even open our Bibles, think about something amazing. The New Testament calls the church the body of Christ. Not a building. Not bricks and mortar. You and I are the church. Every part of a body matters. ...read more

     | 236 views

    Divine lifting is the supernatural promotion that comes from God alone. Certain spiritual and moral forces activate this elevation when a believer aligns with God’s principles.

    FORCES THAT PROMOTE DIVINE LIFTING By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Psalm 75:6-7 Key Verse: “For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

     | 27,272 views

    After celebrating God's gracious dealings with him, the Psalmist exhorts others to put His providential care to the test, and instructs them on how to secure it. He then contrasts God's care of His people and His corrective providence towards the wicked.

    Purging Revival

    Contributed by Billy Kryger on Apr 25, 2005
    based on 24 ratings
     | 9,568 views

    National revival must begin with corporate revival. Corporate revival must begin with personal revival. The steps in personal revival are: SEEING the need for purging, SEEKING the Lord for purging and the SATISFACTION that comes as a result of purging.

    INTRODUCTION: These verses were the prayer of David. This would be a good prayer for all of us to pray. If we would pray this prayer and mean it with all of our hearts THERE WOULD BE REVIVAL! Notice three steps in purging our hearts, lives and actions: 1. SEEING the need for purging—Psalm 51:7 ...read more
