    There are things we need to do but for one cause or another we don't get around to it

    “If Not Now, Then When?” Psalm 119:57-64 David P. Nolte There are some things we are eager to get on with. We conceive of some project and can hardly wait to get working on it.

    Spiritual Renewal: Raising Lazarus From The Dead

    Contributed by Christian Jones on Jun 3, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,630 views

    Through the power of God, Lazarus was brought back to life after being dead for days. Let us explore five key points from this miraculous story and discover how they relate to us spiritually.

    Point 1: The Power of God's Timing (John 11:6) In the story of Lazarus, we witness Jesus deliberately delaying His arrival to the scene. This delay may seem puzzling, but it reminds us that God works according to His perfect timing. In our own lives, we often find ourselves waiting for answers ...read more

    In Good Hands! Series

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Feb 7, 2012
     | 6,993 views

    We will never answer every question regarding God’s calling and election and man’s free will, but how we respond to God is very important. As we grapple with these deep truths, we must remember the greatest response is to trust Him and surrender ourselves

    In Good Hands! Romans 9:19-29 Romans 9 may have raised more questions than answers for you. You’re not alone in this. Even the Apostle Peter, when referring to inspired Scripture written by the Apostle Paul, recognized that his weighty words were sometimes difficult to comprehend in 2 Peter ...read more

    Can God Use Me?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 23, 2025
     | 277 views

    God’s work does not depend on perfect people or ideal conditions, but on ordinary men and women who listen and respond faithfully when He speaks, even in uncertain times.

    There is a question that lives quietly beneath a great deal of spiritual activity. It rarely gets announced. It doesn’t usually show up in public prayer. It hides behind busyness, behind service, behind long familiarity with faith. Can God use me? Not “Does God exist?” Not “Is the Bible ...read more

    You Got What You Wanted, But You Lost What You Had!

    based on 1 rating
     | 42,253 views

    We must guard against pursuing our desires at the expense of do what honours God. Christians, especially, can lose effectiveness in service if they fail to consider the cost of their choices.

    GENESIS 25:29-34 YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED, BUT YOU LOST WHAT YOU HAD! [1] Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted. And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore, his name was called Edom.) Jacob said, “Sell me ...read more

     | 7,300 views

    The one thing to remember is this: whatever history may throw at us; today, tomorrow, next week, or next year, we don’t have to be afraid. We are precious in the Lord’s sight and he loves us.

    The problems of a ’pick and mix’ approach to a relationship with God

    Exodus 32: 1-14 Pick and Mix Christianity One of the great mantras of current politics is the word ‘choice’. It seems that we must have choice in everything whether it’s the schools our children go to, or the hospitals we are treated in. Disappointingly, this idea of choice is strictly limited ...read more
