    Too many believers are waiting for the perfect scenario before they will serve the Lord. It’s an excuse that is often used for idleness and spiritual inactivity - the excuse that it’s not an ideal time or situation in which to serve.

    There is no ideal place to serve God except the place where He has set you down. - Eric Alexander(1) The Lord wants us to bloom where we’re planted, and to serve Him faithfully right where we are. He doesn’t want us to sit around waiting for the “perfect situation” before we serve Him. If we ...read more

    Stop Telling God What To Do

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 43 views

    How Prayer Changes Us Before It Changes Anything Else. Prayer is not controlling outcomes but aligning with God’s heart, trusting Him fully, and joining His transforming work in people’s lives.

    There are phrases that sound almost sacrilegious in a prayer meeting. Not curse words. Just sentences that don’t fit the script Christian culture hands us. And the moment they come out of your mouth, the atmosphere shifts. Forks freeze above plates. Eyes widen. Someone nearly inhales a dinner ...read more

    What is the state of people after they die before the final resurrection at the second coming of Jesus? We want the comfort of knowing that our loved ones are safe in the arms of God. What does the Bible say about this?

    On Palm Sunday we often concentrate on the palms and the colt Jesus was riding and the cloaks being laid before Him in the procession. We look at the exaltation of the crowd and the rebuke of the Jews but there is SO much more going on in that city.

    Well, it’s Palm Sunday! The day we celebrate that glorious ride that Jesus took into Jerusalem amidst the proclamation of His followers. Let's take a look at God's Holy Word! Luke 19:29-40 says, “As [Jesus] approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, He ...read more
