GIVING AND OUR STRUGGLING ECONOMY Introduction Obviously, the news about our economy is not very encouraging.

Girded Saints

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 20, 2026

Girding precedes armor; readiness begins with being held together so faithfulness can endure pressure without collapse.

There is a kind of readiness that feels loud. It announces itself. It comes with urgency, energy, momentum. People speak faster. Plans multiply. Language sharpens. For a long time, many of us assumed that kind of readiness was faithfulness. If someone was energized, they must be ready. If ...read more

Is The Bible Really God's Word? Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Jan 24, 2013

Research tells us that about 65% of protestant Christians believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God. Depending how you look at that it may seem high or low to you. To me it’s cause for concern because a full 35% of professing Christians are not s
