    Taking Care Of What God Has Given Us

    Contributed by Travis L. Billings on Sep 28, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,889 views

    God is not only concerned with what is created, he is concerned with how we take care of what was created. Nehemiah began moving from the building project itself, to taking the necessary steps to insure that what was built (or created) would be protected and preserved.

    When he arrived, Nehemiah inherited leadership over three distinct groups of returnees to the land: • The returnees from 536-516 BCE, who lived and worked under Zerubbabel the governor, and were chastised by Haggai the prophet to get the work finished. • The returnees from 458 BCE, who came to the ...read more

    Prayer is one of the greatest privileges we have as believers. It is our direct communication with God, our means of expressing our dependence on Him, and the way through which we align our hearts with His will.

    Go! And Be Transformed Through Prayer Introduction C.S. Lewis once said, “I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God. It changes me.” Prayer is one of the greatest ...read more

     | 140 views

    Death is not the end; when Christ’s trumpet sounds, God’s love and power will open every grave and restore life.

    A passerby, unwilling to let the rhyme have the last word, pulled out a black marker and added: > To follow you, I’m not content, until I know just where you went. That small dialogue between chisel and marker captures the universal question. Everyone who has ever wandered through a graveyard ...read more

    True victory over evil comes when love ignites forgiveness, turning hatred’s ashes into grace that glows with heaven’s healing fire.

    Introduction – The Heat That Heals There’s something strangely satisfying about fire, isn’t there? We gather around it on cold nights. We cook over it. We watch the embers glow and the sparks fly upward like prayers rising to the heavens. Fire can warm, purify, or destroy—depending on how it’s ...read more
