Contributed by Scott Maze on Aug 2, 2024

All cards on the table now: I would have been skeptical had I been there that day. I would have been looking around to see if someone else brought food. Had He only fed the multitudes, I probably would have never believed this story.

Amputation 101 - Matthew 5:29-30 (Contd) Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 14, 2024

The key to persuading your heart to fling sin away is to become convinced that nearness to God would be more satisfying than that sin. But what do you do when the sin brings intense pleasure and the last few times you sought God in prayer or Scripture it was boring?

“Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (Matthew 28:19-20) We learn ...read more

Let Go And Let God

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 11, 2022

Before we can “let God,” or allow Him to work in our life, we have to “let go.” We have to stop allowing ourselves to be controlled by the things of this world that hinder our usefulness to Him. Letting go and letting God is called faith.

Before we can “let God,” or allow Him to work in our life, we have to “let go,” or throw off the chains that hinder our usefulness to the Lord. We have to stop ...read more
