    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 6, 2025
     | 69 views

    When something really bad happens, we look for a scapegoat to take the blame. For lots of troubles, our response is to blame God, praying “why did you do this to us, Lord?”

    When God Takes Us Fishing

    Contributed by James May on Aug 31, 2022
     | 4,652 views

    When we are given the call from God to serve him we should hear and obey. If not, then God has a way of getting our attention. He wants to extend his great Love to all men.

    When God takes us Fishing Sunday, August 20, 2022 I was seeking the Lord for the word for his church and as the pages of my bible opened up, my eyes were drawn to the first two verses of the Book of Jonah. Immediately I heard the Holy Ghost as he led me to focus my attention to what God would ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 15,508 views

    David's crying out to the Lord shows us total dependence, something that more of us can benefit from today. It is when we humble ourselves fully that God truly can work in our lives ... so will we submit to His will and His majesty?

    Psalm 86 - The psalms are always portions of scripture which we can use to cry out -- Sometimes, even when we don’t know what to pray – we can pray scripture - If you will remember, David had some real life challenges Affair with Bathsheba Had his best friend (soldier in his army) ...read more

     | 3,877 views

    Do your actions, your faithfulness show you are a part of God's program or does it show that you are outside of it looking on? For you is worshiping the Lord a matter of service to others and obeying Him. This is what honors Him and gives us our purpose.

     | 11,304 views

    Mary loved Jesus and was willing to pour herself out for Him. She was willing to pour the most valuable possession she had and poured it out on Jesus. Worship is pouring yourself out. It is laying down your life in honor of One who is greater than you.
