The Shining Light

Contributed by Timothy Gardner on Jan 7, 2005

People need to have a better knowledge of what God will do for them when they believe in and accept Him into their lives.

It is so amazing to me to see different people in the world reject the needs they have. People come into the Salvation Army for financial support because they have lost their jobs, but when we give them a couple of employers that are hiring, they seem to back away. When we get into some sort of ...read more

What Would You Have Me To Do?

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Apr 6, 2018

Pick your battles wisely...make the right choice. That was some good advice, because the only thing more scandalous than believing God can do everything, is fighting against God when He is doing what He said He would do!

What would you have me to do? Mark 4:35-41 MSG 35-38. Late that day he said to them, “Let’s go across to the other side.” They took him in the boat as he was. Other boats came along. A huge storm came up. Waves poured into the boat, threatening to sink it. And Jesus was in the stern, head on a ...read more
