Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Aug 7, 2024

Do we have self-doubt instead of faith in God? Let's look at Exodus 4.

Can humility and self-doubt cause us to doubt God? Was God angry with Moses' lack of faith? Do we have doubts about ourselves? Do we trust that God can use an imperfect person such as us?

Is The World Out Of Control?

Contributed by Don Hawks on Aug 10, 2008

I need not be afraid though all hell should break loose. Why? Because “God’s Spirit doesn’t make cowards out of us. The Spirit gives us power, love, and self-control” (2 Timothy 1:7, CEV).

In today’s gospel reading Jesus says to a frightened group of friends: “Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid." It’s from the story of Jesus walking on water. Some people have interpreted the story as giving us a lesson about needing to take risks in life. One preacher made that the topic of his ...read more

Contributed by Clyde White on Feb 28, 2006

As individual Christians and as a church, we are somewhere in the “middle”. Our game’s not over yet. We don’t have to know the whole story, if we’re convinced there is a story, and if we’re trusting the Author for the conclusion and the “middle”.

Having a proper perspective is imperative to living the Christian life with the "joy" the of the Lord. The big question is HOW do we obtain that proper perspective? Life is a little bit like a good novel. Well-written novels are usually unpredictable. Good authors often do not know how their ...read more
