Hearts Of Fire

Contributed by Jesse Crooks on May 4, 2023

All of us have our Emmaus roads. People disappoint us, circumstances disappoint us, and careers disappoint us. Sometimes it seems that God has disappointed us like He did these disciples, disappoints us when He does not act in the way or in the time we expect Him to.

Circumcision Of The Heart

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jul 26, 2021

It is not that belonging to the visible community of God’s people is unimportant. It is. But salvation is not won by any external associations. When we depend on such things, we become less than what God wants us to be.
