    God uses prayer and waiting to prepare us for new beginnings, inviting us to trust His timing and embrace the fresh work He is doing.

    Some mornings feel like the air itself is holding its breath. You can sense that change is near, like the hush before a symphony begins or the split second before a seed splits and sends up a tender green shoot. If you’ve been waiting, watching, and wondering, you’re in good company. The God who ...read more

    We want microwave spirituality – we want the feeling – The God High – the emotion when we worship God. We want fast results, and we want it on demand, but God does not work that way.

     | 469 views

    When we begin to feel anxious or overwhelmed, misjudged or offended, occupied with our needs and self-gratification, take a few steps back and take time to look at the big picture

    How many enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles? Normally, we turn all of the pieces face-up; set aside those that have a straight edge (the outside frame) and start assembling those first. Then we begin to assemble the rest of the pieces, looking for pieces that more obviously fit in a section, and work on ...read more

    One of the most potent tools the enemy uses against us is the tool of delay. But delay does not equate to denial. The enemy may slow down your answer, but he can't prevent it.

    Have you ever been in a situation where you felt like your message wasn't getting through to someone? You repeated yourself, but it seemed like they weren't listening. It can be frustrating and agitating. Similarly, in our lives, we often face delays in receiving answers to our prayers. But ...read more

    Let us study persistence and patience. One of the problems in the church is impatience. Russia thinks in terms of decades. China thinks in terms of centuries. The church expects instant gratification and overnight success.

    Masturbation, The Spiritual Battle Against The Flesh

    Contributed by Robert Irvine on May 24, 2024
     | 3,909 views

    Some say that the Bible does not mention masturbation or self-gratification or “solo sex,” as it’s sometimes called. They say that it is silent on the subject and that the Bible does not state whether or not masturbation is a sin.

    I was asked about masturbation and what I thought of it. He then offered up, “Why is masturbation classed as a sin?” “I’m on Christian sites where people are saying that it’s all wrong and that you shouldn’t being stuff like that but surely God wants us to love either with a partner or ourself.” ...read more

    Throughout the bible the Stewardship of money is taught. Jesus had more to say about money than He had to say about heaven. From the Biblical perspective giving is not a duty it is a privilege.

    True strength comes not from our own efforts, but from receiving and resting in the deep, sustaining joy that Jesus freely gives to us.
