How To Impress God

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 2, 2005

When God Wrestles With Family Tensions

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 16, 2009

We use avoidance, anger, anxiety, and aloneness to manage family tensions. We even use self-centered prayer. But when we let God wrestle with us, we are changed and we accept vulnerability in family life.

The most critical issue in family life is not anger or argument. It is avoidance. What plagues most families is not that they are embroiled in fighting or torn by argument. What destroys families is that people drift apart from one another; they avoid one another. You see, if you fight with ...read more

The Veil Of Ignorance

Contributed by Adeolu Akin-Abraham on Dec 2, 2009

Justification By Faith Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on May 25, 2014

The earliest controversy in the church was over a critical matter: What does it mean in practical terms to be a member of God’s family? Also, coming to Christ is an act of self-denial. We are “under new management.”

Contributed by Samuel Stone on Oct 31, 2007
