The Road Where Hope Returns

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 19, 2025

Jesus rekindles cold faith by engaging every doorway of our soul—mind, heart, and body—so truth burns with love again.

Jesus' Passion

Contributed by Doug Morrell on Apr 12, 2005

Christ’s Resurrection from the dead is not a secondary issue - the Resurrection is foundational to our faith.

Who crucified Jesus? God did to fulfill His divine purposes. God designed His Son’s death to accomplish victory over evil and suffering. From the Book of Acts we learn that Jesus was handed over by God’s set purpose and foreknowledge (Acts 2:23). The lashings, the thorns, ...read more

It wasn’t just music; it was a feeling. The song pictured life as a ...read more

He Knows My Cry

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 10, 2025

Jesus knows the deepest cry of the human soul; He entered our darkness, carried our pain, and rises as the God who hears us.

There are moments in the human journey when language becomes too small. Grief too large. Silence too heavy. And the soul… too tired to pretend. Moments when we don’t simply pray — we cry. And not the gentle kind. Not the kind you can tuck into a sentence and offer politely at prayer meeting. I’m ...read more

WHEN THE WELL FINALLY DRIES Most of us carry a thirst we don’t mention out loud.

Can You Believe That?

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025

Jesus is ready to work powerfully in every believer’s life. Faith welcomes His presence and purpose. Unbelief closes the door on His miracles.

There’s a strange thing happening in our world today. People have no trouble believing in the unbelievable…but when it comes to believing in God, suddenly we need proof, evidence, and footnotes. Surveys show large numbers of people believe in ghosts, UFOs, and reincarnation. Some even believe in ...read more

Jesus stops under our tree, calls us by name, enters our desolate house, and fills our deepest loneliness with restoring, transforming grace.

Part One — The Ache for Home There is a painting by Norman Rockwell that I have loved for years. Even before I knew why it gripped me, it spoke to something deep inside — that universal ache, that timeless yearning we all have for home. Not simply a house or a street address, but the place where ...read more
