    Horizontal Or Vertical Divide

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on Feb 18, 2023
     | 1,277 views

    God doesn't divide between us horizontally, that's what we do. God divides between us vertically. Saved or not saved. In Christ or not in Christ. He shows no favoritism, and we shouldn't either.

    Horizontal or Vertical Divide James 2:1-13 Many years ago when Terri and I were living in Bowling Green, KY, we were members of a very large church for a while. This church was so large that they had two of everything—two Sunday morning worship services and two Sunday School services. Now, I have ...read more

     | 1,474 views

    God makes a stunning statement here: there is no one left to stand in the gap on behalf of Israel. What does this passage tell us about the specific shortcomings of the people of God and the prophets of God in that day? And can this text encourage us today to stand strong amid a dark hour?

    The Question Evil Can’t Answer

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 29, 2025
     | 191 views

    Evil remains a mystery, but the cross reveals God’s character. He enters human suffering, bears its weight, and assures us that love—not evil—has the final word.

    There are certain questions that do not arise from curiosity, but from collision. They are not born in classrooms or debates, but in moments when life presses hard against the soul and refuses to explain itself. These questions surface when loss interrupts routine, when suffering enters without ...read more

    God calls us to consecrate ourselves—living holy, set-apart lives—so we are ready for Him to work wonders in and through us.

    There’s a hush that falls over the heart when you sense God is nearby. Not in the thunder, not even in the headlines, but in the ordinary—the kettle singing in the kitchen, a lunch pail packed for work, the Bible open on a worn table. In those moments, something within whispers, “Get ready.” ...read more
