    Songs For The Road: Music For Tired Feet

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 30, 2025
     | 278 views

    What if the pressure you feel isn’t because you’re failing—but because you’re trying to prove something you already are?

    Introduction I want to begin this morning with words that many of us recognize—not because they are complicated, but because they are honest. They weren’t written to impress anyone. They weren’t written to explain theology. They were written to be carried. I’m but a stranger here, Heaven is my ...read more

    Three strategies to live spiritually responsible lives.

    Just because a person’s an adult doesn’t necessarily mean that person is responsible. When I turned 18 years old it seemed that the only thing I could think about was moving out on my own. But like most 18 year olds, I still had a lot of growing up to do. Eventually my mom helped me buy a trailer ...read more

    The very word Revival implies that things aren’t as good as they need to be. It implies spiritual decay and inactivity.

    Last week, we talked about revival and the need for humility in seeking it. The very word, Revival implies that things aren’t as good as they need to be. To revive something implies that there is some kind of spiritual decay or inactivity going on and it needs to be revived, to be made alive ...read more

     | 15,760 views

    Justice is not an external system to which God tries to adhere. He didn’t have to go to law school or get a TV courtroom to learn how to apply the law. His justice comes out of his inner being and is based on His holiness, His truthfulness, and His righ

    Our Just God This past Monday I had the opportunity to play “Mr. Mom” while Beth attended a conference in Chicago. There is no doubt in my mind that Beth has a more difficult job than I do! My greatest challenge came late morning when I was trying to give our baby Megan a bottle. Since Beth is ...read more

    Are we more concerned about appearing Christian than we are with being a Christian. How far will we go to keep a Christian reputation and hide our sin?

    A rather pompous deacon was endeavoring to impress upon a class of boys the importance of living the Christian life. "Why do people call me a Christian?" the man asked. After a moment’s pause, one youngster said, "Maybe it’s because they don’t know you." I wonder…..could that be said of us? ...read more

    The world values success while God values faithfulness.

    I have often wished that the world had some kind of popularity contest on the value we place on certain words in our English language. I would especially like to see a popularity contest on two words: “success” and “faithfulness”. I am quite sure that “success” would win out overwhelmingly. ...read more

    The real need for encouragement.

    Barnabas was THE ENCOURAGER … he was always looking out for the underdog … he always attempted to see the “good” in everyone … he tried to focus on the positives! How many of you know a Barnabas?

    Love Me Tender

    based on 70 ratings
     | 13,606 views

    If you were to ask me what was the most important lesson I’d learned about marriage in my (ahem!) years in the married state, I’d give you my answer with no hesitation at all: love is a choice, not a feeling.

    “During the marriage ceremony the two become one - on the honeymoon they discover which one.” – I quoted from guy who seems to be a deep-thinker. But I think this is rather the result of some personal frustrations, rather than a generic truth. Maybe it’s the age I’m getting to, but I’ve noticed ...read more
