    Real Faith Faith Under Fire

    Contributed by Kelly Benton on Mar 3, 2026
     | 109 views

    James assumes something about the Christian life that modern Christianity often avoids: Faith will be tested. The question is not, “Will you go through fire?” The question is, “Will your faith survive it?”

    2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you ...read more

    Introduction: I am sure you have heard someone say or perhaps you have said this at some time, “I AM HUNGRY or I HAVE HUNGRY PANGS!”

    We’ve all had the familiar feeling of rumbling in our belly when we’re hungry. It’s a clear sign from our stomach to our brain saying: Time for some grub! This discomfort that you feel close to lunchtime is called hunger pangs. Why do these hungry pangs actually happen? It is a part of our ...read more

    Hang On To What You Have

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025
     | 233 views

    Faith is sustained not by intensity or perfection, but by hanging on to Christ’s grace when pressure, disappointment, and weariness pull at our trust.

    He didn’t start out confused. He started out in love. You remember what that feels like—when faith is simple, when obedience feels like joy instead of effort, when the future seems open because God is clearly ahead of you. Prayer is natural. Scripture feels like bread. Service feels like oxygen. ...read more
