That’s what the Sabbath is. It isn’t merely a day off or a relic of Jewish culture. It’s a creation gift, ...read more

Protective Praise

Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on May 25, 2024

Have you ever thought about how praising God in the highs and lows can provide a layer of protection against pride (in the highs) or despair (in the lows)? Here we take a look at Hezekiah as an example of why we need to praise God and forget not all His benefits described in Psalm 103:1-5.

Protective Praise Have you ever thought about praise being a protective agent? Psalm 103:1 (ESV) says, “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!” When we bless the Lord in our highs and lows, he provides a layer of protection. From what? Getting too high or ...read more

Grace and peace to you, my brothers and sisters. There is a phrase we hear often, a poetic and hopeful idea: "light over darkness." It sounds beautiful, it sounds victorious, until that very light meets the places we all keep locked away. The human heart, in its quiet complexity, can ...read more

Will You Remember Me?

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 27, 2025

God remembers us in life and in death; through Christ’s resurrection we are known, valued, and restored to everlasting, resurrected life with Him.

No Longer Hiding: From Shame To Belonging

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 20, 2026

The gospel restores belonging before behavior, covering shame with presence so hiding loses its necessity and transformation grows from safety.

Most of us think we know what the problem is. We think the problem is sin. Or disobedience. Or failure. Or a lack of discipline. Or not trying hard enough. Scripture does not ignore them. Very early in the biblical story—before commandments, before systems, before religion is fully formed—the ...read more
