Serving God Takes Trust

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 12, 2021

Sometimes what God permits us to lose or endure, points us to the truth that He is all we really need. It's a matter of learning to trust God in the good and in the bad. It's a matter of trusting God and not trusting the things that He provides.

Do you trust God? I mean do you really trust God? Back in 1859 there was a tightrope walker by the name of Charles Blondin. He amazed the world when he walked the tightrope across Niagara Falls. The cable sagged about 60 ft in the middle and formed a sharp slope and the drop below him was ...read more

Give Thanks

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 19, 2006

We cannot give thanks FOR all circumstances but we can IN all circumstances. God has a purpose in every storm, shipwreck, tragedy, disease, or whatever that comes upon His children. Giving thanks to God is meant for our good; it enriches our life.

Paul was a man who suffered a great deal of pain and yet wrote, "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." (I Thess 5: 16-18). For Paul to give us such an advice is amazing. • It shows that a Christian can give thanks ...read more

Why We Fear Everything Else?

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 31, 2024

Fear of God is missing in our lives because of which we fear everything. When we fear God, we can live in peace in the midst of all the terrifying events that surround us. We fear something because it is powerful or has the power to harm or kill us.

Why we fear everything else? The reason we fear everything else, like COVID, earthquakes, and destructions, because we don’t fear God. God does not make us tremble, and we are not scared of him(reverence for God). Fear of God is missing in our lives because of which we fear everything. When we ...read more
