I Have It All! Nothing Can Touch Me!

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Oct 2, 2025

Blessed Is The Nation

Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Nov 20, 2002

Most of us would agree that our nation has been blessed beyond measure but we must remember that "to whom much is given, much will be required". We must not lose sight of this basic Bible concept if we hope to have the abundance of blessings to continue.

Waves Of Doubt

Contributed by Paul Hammons on Mar 13, 2007

Wanted: Three Rooms, Open Windows

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 14, 2010

We all need a throne room, where we can maintain a measure of control and an upper room, where we can nourish our privacy. We will also have a den, a place of escape or of anxiety. The key to managing them all is the open windows of prayer.

"I Am Gifted" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Mar 5, 2014

Contributed by Duane Wente on Jul 14, 2025

The world says your value is measured by what you own—status, wealth, and accomplishments. But God says your worth is found in who you are (your character) and whose you are (your identity in Christ). We are not defined by what we accumulate, but by our foundation in Him.
