     | 182 views

She tells of the time her husband, Kyle, used her in a sermon illustration and spoke of her inability to perfect a pecan pie. She testifies, “That particular Sunday, I was serving in the nursery, and as parents came to ...read more

    The Peace Altar

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 20, 2025
     | 49 views

    Most of us assume peace comes after things change. After the diagnosis is clear. After the conflict is resolved. After the money situation stabilizes. After the fear finally loosens its grip. We tell ourselves, “I’ll have peace when the battle is over.” But the story of Gideon opens with a ...read more

    Confession Is Good For The Soul

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jun 2, 2024
     | 740 views

    Verse nine tells us to stop pretending there is no elephant in the room and simply admit it, confessing our sins to the Lord. To admit our sins to Him is just being honest. Confession helps us to come face to face with our sins.
