How Can We Be Good?

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jul 7, 2019

In order to grow in obedience and godliness, we must start by having minds that are "alert and fully sober".

In this passage, Peter is addressing a question that each of us struggles with: how can we be good? Because we do want to be good, at least theoretically. Don’t we? We want to be people who do the right thing, who are honorable, who are worthy of respect, people who tell the truth. We want to be ...read more

Provoking Good Deeds And Love

Contributed by Jeremy Harbin on Feb 16, 2020

"Provoking" is the ability to call forth a reaction, feeling, or emotion from another. The reaction is usually unwanted. What if we used this power to call out the good in our neighbor?

We might think of the guy who cuts us off on the interstate, and he doesn’t even use his blinker when he does it . He ...read more

Praying With Good King Hezekiah

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 21, 2021

Looking back on the last few months, do you feel like you’ve been praying more, or is it less? Is this a practice that has been strengthened with you, or has it struggled? Has the seeking become less diligent, or the knocking not so confident? A praying Christian is a living Christian!

In Luke 11:9 Jesus says these words to us, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Simple commands, yet astonishing. For his words reveal the great privilege that we have when we pray. This is the heavenly power that we access whenever we ...read more
