High Hopes When All Is Not Well

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025

Faith is not measured by certainty or outcomes, but by a living relationship with Jesus—trusting Him faithfully when answers are delayed and life remains unresolved.

Some of us are old enough to remember a simple song that used to show up on the radio and in cartoons. It wasn’t trying to be profound. It wasn’t aiming for insight. It was lighthearted—almost silly. And yet, it stayed with people far longer than you’d expect. --- High Hopes Next time you're ...read more

Is There Not A Cause?

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026

God’s word is never idle—it creates purpose and calls for response. Like David, we are not defined by the roles others assign us, but by the word God has spoken over our lives. When that word becomes a cause, faith moves from observation to obedience.

For forty days, the giant Goliath had stepped forward to issue his challenge, defying the armies of the living God. And for forty days, no one answered him. The silence was not caused ...read more

Living Between Prayer And Promise

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 8, 2026

Live faithfully between prayer and promise—trust God’s future, obey His present reign, and rest in hope until Christ returns.

Most of our lives are not lived at the beginning of a story or at the end of one. They are lived somewhere in the middle — in that long, unfinished stretch where things are still forming, still unresolved, still waiting to make sense. We live between what has already been spoken and what has not ...read more
