The public moral compass of society relies upon the knowing God’s directions, yet it likewise relies upon individuals keeping ...read more

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 9, 2022

It is your heart that determines your usability. Maybe you are not the obvious choice for some position. The lesser known man who has the heart of God prevailed in the case of David. God’s principle remains the same.

Misplaced Trust Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Feb 26, 2021

Jeremiah had to buy a loin cloth, then wear it for ages, then hide it in a rock crevice for ages. That is what he preached about in Jeremiah 13. Ezekiel had to lay on his side for ...read more

Tell Everyone How Good, The Good News Is

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Oct 28, 2010

God’s grace is His unmerited favor. And that means we can’t earn it. We can’t work for it, and we can’t change His mind about it, even if we tried. He pours out His blessing on us not because of what we do, but because of who He is.
