Do We Desire Tomatoes Or Oak Trees? Patience?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jun 12, 2019

Let us study persistence and patience. One of the problems in the church is impatience. Russia thinks in terms of decades. China thinks in terms of centuries. The church expects instant gratification and overnight success.

A Terrifying Victory

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

The mind cannot grasp all that Jesus went through on the cross, but we need to try because He went through it all for our salvation.

I remember learning a poem when I was a boy, which you will no doubt recognize. The first lines were, “Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are.” I have been told that this poem is out of date, for the scientifically educated modern child can say, “Twinkle, twinkle little star, I ...read more

The Impossible Is Indispensable Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

Certainly all of us have had the experience of not knowing how to express our gratitude. Thanks sometimes seems so inadequate, and even when we add thanks so very much, and thanks a million, it leaves us with a sense of having very poorly expressed how we feel.

The concept of the impossible changes from generation to generation. Much of what we do today was once thought to be impossible. Because of this, we are more cautious today in what we include in the category of the impossible. We are no longer quick to say it can't be done. What is apparently ...read more

Emotions And Sensory Spirituality

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jan 24, 2017

God never intended emotions or feelings to guide or reveal what is right or wrong. They are constantly changing, and they need to be controlled because they can take control of a person and lead them into serious error and deception.

Human emotions are deeply intertwined with the five basic senses of sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing, which human beings use to investigate and perceive the world around them. They are essential for processing, learning, perception, reasoning, problem-solving and adapting to the events of ...read more

The Test: Unhappy Cycles?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Aug 14, 2020

Unhappiness is a choice. Seems we love the infectious negative reports that develop from emotions and eye sight. We are more than destination focused, we must focus on the progressive journey planned by a mighty God. You can if you want too.
