Jesus

Contributed by Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid on Mar 13, 2015

What betrayal convicts the heart of man?---not the heart of the man who committed the offense, supposedly but the one who suffered the offense. Is the heart of the sufferer on the mercy seat as much as the offender who committed the offense, supposedly.

Be Led By The Holy Spirit

Contributed by William R. Nabaza on Jul 11, 2019

Step Eight - Its A List Dummy Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Jan 8, 2020

Step eight comes across as a fairly easy step at first glance. I only need to transfer my list of people, places and things from step 5 and be willing to change. The “big book” offers all of three sentences so maybe it is that easy. NOT!

Prayer Keys - Abiding In Christ And Christ's Words Abiding In Us Series

Contributed by Mark Stepherson on Feb 23, 2012

Abiding in Christ, a relationship more intimate than being at home with a loving family, is our source of life. Christ’s words abiding in us should be so familiar to us that when we encounter the false we know it. These are two keys to empowered prayer.
