Have You Been Listening To Your Soul Lately? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jun 26, 2019

Giving a voice to our soul through prayers benefits us more than it benefits God. It tells us about who we are and where we stand. Acknowledging something is the beginning of healing.

A good portion of that sample prayer aims to worship God; his presence, his power and his character. ...read more

A Kingdom Picture

Contributed by Don Baggett on Jan 31, 2008

I used to think the phrase, Kingdom of God, meant only some future time, but I have come to understand that it means the Christian experience under the Lordship of Christ.

That’s what I used to think it meant, but I have ...read more
