    Tony Campolo tells the story of a town where all the residents are ducks. Every Sunday the ducks waddle out of their houses and waddle down Main Street to their church. They waddle into the sanctuary and squat in their proper pews. The duck choir waddles in and takes its place, and then the duck ...read more

    Unshared Unrivaled Unequaled

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 10, 2025
     | 170 views

    Christ alone is the unshared, unrivaled, unequal Rock; surrender means stepping off the throne of self and letting Him reign today.

    There’s a certain comfort, isn’t there, in imagining that somewhere out there is a man who carries the weight of spiritual certainty on his shoulders. He sits robed, enthroned, vested in centuries of tradition and expectation. His words ripple across continents. His gestures become symbols. His ...read more

    Who Is Sufficient?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 11, 2025
     | 180 views

    We are not sufficient for the calling of Christ—but He is. In our weakness, His triumph is revealed, and through us the fragrance of His grace fills the world.

A worship service—when it is filled with sincerity and unguarded hearts—reminds us of something we tend to forget: God has already been walking toward us before we ...read more

    Can God Use Me?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 23, 2025
     | 260 views

    God’s work does not depend on perfect people or ideal conditions, but on ordinary men and women who listen and respond faithfully when He speaks, even in uncertain times.

    There is a question that lives quietly beneath a great deal of spiritual activity. It rarely gets announced. It doesn’t usually show up in public prayer. It hides behind busyness, behind service, behind long familiarity with faith. Can God use me? Not “Does God exist?” Not “Is the Bible ...read more

    Faith’s all we’ve got in a world that asks for a sure sign.

    How can you be so sure Hebrews 11:1-6 1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. 2This is what the ancients were commended for. 3By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. ...read more
