Contributed by Dennis Lee on Sep 7, 2025

Our deepest and most intimate needs will never be filled with the temporal things of this world. They can only be found in a relationship with Jesus Christ. The secret of contentment is learning how to live godly lives in accordance with God and His word.

Stay In The Light

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on May 25, 2024

The light of God’s wonder and glory is there, but they have covered themselves with darkness and never really know the glory and joy of God’s salvation. But is even worse if the person is a Christian and still lives in darkness.

Lord Of The Storm

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 21, 2021

As Lord of all creation, Jesus won’t let anything stop his plan to redeem sinners. So there is nothing more powerful than these words of comfort for his believers: “It is I.” His words overcome all our fears: “I am Jesus. Do not be afraid.”

It is humbling to stand at the edge of the ocean. Looking out over the water, seeing the pounding surf and hearing the noise of the breakers, you realize your smallness.

But The People Were Silent

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 14, 2016
