The I Do's And The I Dont's

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Sep 29, 2015

I’d like to look at the commitment a person makes when they call on the Lord and join their lives with Him! I’d like to start with some things to avoid (The I don’ts) and then we’ll look at what it means to say “I do” to the Lord.

I Will Be What I Will Be.

Contributed by Roy Fowler on Feb 6, 2021

God Almighty is the God that has been for always and will be for always. He is creator, protector, and provider. Since he is all of this what's wrong with waiting for him to come to us at the right time. As we wait He is with us and we can mount up on wings of Eagles.

If I Perish, I Perish Series

Contributed by Jefferson Williams on Aug 23, 2020

In the book of Esther, a game of chess is being played, except with cosmic implications. Satan carefully moved Haman into position and gleefully hissed, “Check!” But we will see that God has his own plan and has a queen and a pawn moving in for the kill, or in chess language, “Checkmate!”

I Wander As I Wander

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 13, 2025

Wandering ends when we trust God more than our fears, letting His presence lead our hearts out of old circles and into promise.

There’s a phrase that has been turning over in my heart—one you might recognize, though not quite in the form you learned it. We know the old carol, “I Wonder as I Wander.” But somewhere along the way, in the wilderness seasons of my own life, it became this: “I wander as I wander.” Not poetic. ...read more
