Hedges

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Mar 8, 2009

What are your hedges made of and where did they come from and why? Do you have any? Did God tear yours down or build one for you?

You have often heard I and others pray a hedge of protection or thorns about folks but you may not have known where we get the idea from even though you might like it. One lady told me she loved it when I prayed that because it gave her great comfort. Hedges can be a great comfort depending on ...read more

Plan The Work, Part 3: Defend The Plan Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Mar 21, 2009

When a leader knows, through prayer and the confirmation of God’s people, that he is in the will of God, he must defend his plan against ungodly opposition.

One of the great lessons we get from the book of Nehemiah is that opposition is not a onetime deal. It would be nice if we could just deal with opposition once and be done with it, wouldn’t it? But we can’t. Because as long as we are doing the work that God calls us to do, we will have to face ...read more

Secrets Of The Vine Series

Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Apr 7, 2009

What does it mean to "remain" in Christ? The imagery of the Vine and the teaching Jesus gave call us to remain in Him and bear fruit.

SECRETS OF THE VINE One of the perks of my work is that I get to research all kinds of interesting things.

Have You Only One Blessing?

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 7, 2009

Our families are dysfunctional because we are not creative and do not consult the Lord in prayer. Isaac is weak, late, and materialistic. Rebekah is manipulative and anxious. God the Father of Jesus shows us how to love and give to our chidren.

We are bombarded daily with the phrase "family values." It has become the buzzword of the current political campaign. And as candidates parade their wives and children and grandchildren across the platform; as presidential hopefuls debate about which of them is the more family-oriented; as ...read more

Seeing God Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Nov 25, 2008

Have you ever wished that God would show Himself to you? Did you know that He already has? We’ll see that in our passage today as we look at the prologue to John’s gospel.

Do you ever wonder what it must be like to see God? I’ve heard it said that for us to try to see God in His fullness and completely describe Him would be like a germ trying to describe the universe. In and of Himself, God is completely incomprehensible to man. In His eternal three-in-one ...read more

Thank God For Who He Is

Contributed by Peter Loughman on Dec 11, 2008

We start with praise simply because of who God is, and in the end we find that the greatness of God, the compassion of God, the faithfulness of God, and the personal nature of God brings us back to who God is.

Lately it seems popular in America to imagine how Jesus would act if He were walking among us here in the United States of America today. We are told that what Jesus would drive would be anything but a gas guzzling SUV…this is in spite of the fact that Jesus walked everywhere even though horses ...read more
