Inherit Your Mantle

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 12, 2025

God is still placing mantles. He still looks for men and women who will press through every station and pick up what He drops.

It all began as an ordinary day for Elisha. The son of a prosperous farmer, he rose as he always did, washed, dressed, and joined the family in the field.

We The People, Breaking Bondages Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 15, 2010

God does not want merely personal religion; He desires our investment in breaking the bondages that imprison others. America post-Vietnam is strikingly similar to Judah post-Exile. Neither can afford to retreat into comfortable religion.

The Year Of Alignment Not Struggle

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Dec 24, 2025

Can the awesome presence of Jesus become too familiar? Looking to Jesus and carrying our own agenda produces problems with vision.

Read or quote Mark 8. We are half way through Mark’s gospel today. What does Mark do for you and I as readers? Just think of the way we get to be in on all this action in Jesus’ life and ministry.

How Much Do You Long For Jesus? Series

As I mentioned last time, Mark Chapter 5 is all about setting prisoners free. In verses 1 through 20 we see Jesus release a man who had been held captive by thousands of demons. This time we see Him set free a woman held in the bondage of an incurable disease for more than a decade. Next time He ...read more

The Jews got a picture of the rest of God through the ...read more
