    Our unchangeable situations are an easy thing in the eyes of the Lord to handle.

    Today I want to continue to examine & illustrate the truth we studied last week which was: the power of God to change the unchangeable. It is so important to keep our focus on the Lord & His ability instead of the complexities of the situation or the hardness/coldness of the person’s heart. Many ...read more

    Don't Quit

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 1,252 views

    Our victory is assured because Christ was victorious. We are “more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37). Quitting is a shortcut leading to failure. We can finish strong when we focus on Christ.

After 15 hours, a heavy fog began to block her view, she became disoriented, and she gave up. To her chagrin, Chadwick learned that she had quit just 1 mile short of her ...read more

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Aug 20, 2025
    based on 4 ratings
     | 330 views

    In the Bible, Jesus is often referred to as God's "free gift" (Romans 5:15 NIV). A person is free to reject that gift just as they are free to reject the offer of friendship and love from another.

    Works-based Christianity is similar to the principle of Karma, which is the "law of the deed," a centuries-old worldwide belief that if you do good things, good will come back to you, and if you do bad things, bad will come back to you. It is believed that suffering is a result of a ...read more
