When The Heavens Become Brass

Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on Apr 17, 2009

Almost Slipped: Finding Your Footing In A World That Isn't Fair

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 4, 2025

This psalm is a brutally honest account of a faith crisis, showing that when we're tempted to envy the wicked, the cure is found not in understanding their prosperity, but in seeing their ultimate destiny from the eternal perspective we gain in God's presence.

Introduction: The Unfairness of It All Good morning. It’s a feeling we all know, a question that burns in our hearts from a young age: "That's not fair!" We see it everywhere in our world. Someone who cuts corners gets the promotion. A dishonest person gets richer. We try to live with ...read more

Rejoice In The Lord Always!

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jan 16, 2022

The source of our true rejoicing is found only through a right relationship with God! Everything apart from him is crumbling and disappointing. Yet our God is eternal, glorious, lacks in no way, and never fails. So those who enjoy a living fellowship with Christ are given true gladness of heart.

Are we known as a joyful people? Is that the reputation we have, that we’re often rejoicing? Perhaps not. On first impressions, our worship is pretty sombre. In speaking about our faith, most of us are reserved, and we keep our emotions well in check. Even when we have what we call “the celebration ...read more
