Living In Limbo

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Jan 13, 2007

When we fall into a rut, or feel that our efforts are not worth God’s attention, God comes alongside as and reminds us that He is with us. Which means we shouldn’t get stuck in the moment and allow that to be the focus – we need to look beyond the moment to what God is doing.

Embarrassing Reruns

Not By Your Strength But By My Spirit

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021

Bowed Himself To The Ground

Contributed by Samuel M on Feb 22, 2025

When we see God, we will spontaneously do something, and this is worship. It could be a bowing down, singing, raising hands, or falling facedown. But it all starts by seeing God. When we see God, his holiness compels or makes us to do a reverential action which is called worship.

So Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground. Genesis 18:3 This is the first act or form of worship mentioned in the Bible. On seeing God, he immediately bowed ...read more
