    Joy Of Salvation

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 8, 2025
     | 280 views

    Revival is not about guilt trips, programs, or emotional hype — it is about seeing God afresh and rediscovering the joy of salvation. True revival happens when we move from obsessing over our failures to fixing our eyes on the God who forgives, restores, and renews.

    “Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation, and uphold me with Thy free spirit.” Psalm 51:12 Introduction – Passion Misplaced The kingdom of God is not going to advance simply because our churches are full of people. No — the kingdom of God is going to advance when the people who are in our ...read more

    Secret Of Joy Series

    How helpless is man though he holds position, power, wealth and fame! Not knowing what is lying ahead, all he has are a loan from his creator God- leaving everything here on this side of the eternity when he departs this world.

    Live today! Never miss today’s blessings. God is a God of present tense. He calls Himself “ I am that I am”. Many of us dream of a better future when we can enjoy the life comfortably without the struggles we have now. It is only a human hope, with no sound base (Proverbs 19:21) . None of us know ...read more

     | 355 views

    God’s economy runs on joy, not guilt. Paul reminds us that giving isn’t a tax, it’s a treasure—a chance to reflect the heart of a generous God. The Lord isn’t tallying how much you give; He’s looking at the attitude behind it.

    This kind of joy is not rooted in the absence of struggle or challenges but springs from a deeper place—a place anchored in God's promises. Today, we will explore this profound joy, its foundation, its vast greatness, and how it can be truly ours.

    A heavenly joy; fruit of a deep heart relationship with God; a foretaste of the riches of His glorious inheritance; the promise of God to His children. The result of belonging to and resting in Him. It's a joy that cannot fail as long as we remain IN Him.

If it brings discomfort, frustration, or sorrow—give me a thumbs down. Just respond honestly. First scenario: ...read more
