Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jan 9, 2015

God's love has made us His children, and it will make us like His Son.

One thing I learned about Jan: She never felt the need to control others. I don’t mean by that that she had no boundaries or no expectations of us. She wanted us to be our best selves. But she didn’t see the need to coerce us. She didn’t need us to be a certain way for her to be ...read more

Bring Me A Worm

Contributed by Carol Moore on Jun 22, 2019

Instead of asking the Spirit to come to us, why not accept His invitation to step into His circle.

John Wesley once said, “Bring me a worm that can comprehend a man, and then I will show you a man that can comprehend the Triune God.” The Trinity, Three-in-One, is confusing any way you try to look at it. It is the reason that Muslims say we believe in three gods. If it confuses you, then you ...read more
