So, raise your hands if you have a few enemies.” And several people raise their hands.” “Now raise ...read more

He Lives!

Contributed by Shelly Griffin on Apr 19, 2001

What if your loved one came back from the dead?

When my mother died in 1993, I was unprepared for the intense grief that hit me like a freight train. My father had died ten years before, but that was different. He didn’t like me, and there was no love lost between us, so the whole process was not that traumatic. When my mother died, though, I ...read more

A Living Wage Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 28, 2022

There’s a difference between dead-end religion and living faith.

I expect the issue of minimum wage will come up in Congress again this year. There are good arguments on both sides - Those who are in favor of raising it will argue, rightly, that you can’t support a family on a minimum wage job, and that people who “work hard and play by the rules” should be able ...read more

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jun 13, 2025

The “miry clay” represents situations that are sticky, messy, and hard to escape. It symbolises spiritual bondage, emotional turmoil, and moral failure. But God does not abandon His people in such states. He inclines His ear to us, hears our cry, and lifts us out with His mighty hand.
