The God Who Gives Life To The Dead

Contributed by Paul Mulani on Apr 29, 2019

Quite often we want God to do new things in our lives. However, many a times God wants to raise the dead, to bring to life what is dead in our lives, and not just give us brand new things. He wants to renew, give life to the dead things in our lives so that they will bring life to the whole person.

I want to begin by pointing out a correction that Jesus made to Martha's view on resurrection, a mistake that many people make even today. In John 11:40 we read, "Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” That was a kind rebuke. ...read more

I Want To Read My Bible. Where Do I Start?

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Nov 14, 2020

Many "mature" Christians have never read their Bible except for passages for Sunday School or other lessons. I was one of them. When I opened my Bible and began reading the Bible for myself, that is when God started revealing himself to me.

Good Grief

Contributed by Brady Boyd on May 26, 2021

Most people aren’t good at expressing grief. Yet two-thirds of the Psalms are laments – grieving complaints against God. The Hebrew writers knew that the path of praise often went through the valley of mourning. So what happens when we grieve and mourn properly?
