To What End? Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022

Both the arrogant rich and the suffering poor get the same message: “today is not all there is.”

Biblical Bearings

Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Mar 16, 2025

Your Biblical Bearings are what keep you in the right place, at the right time, doing what the Father has called you to do in the right way. If you get out of sorts in any way, our Heavenly Father can help us get back on track.

To use the expression of “losing your bearings” is the idea of a loss of an orientation toward what was once a reality. Other ways to say it is that someone “lost their way.” Your bearings comprise your orientation toward who you are and what is you are supposed to be doing. Biblical Bearings ...read more
