What Is In Your Hand? (Part 7) Series

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 12, 2015

“What is in your hand” means whatever is in your care or control. “This question, 'What is in your hand?' is one of the most important question for growing Christians in their life. What you withhold and retain in your hand reveals what is in your heart.

Opening illustration: There was once a wise woman who lived by herself near a small village. Rumor had it that she could always accurately predict when the rains would come, or help heal a sick child with herbs, or calm angry neighbors and help them to resolve their fights and arguments.

One Breath, One Flesh

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 4, 2010

Pentecost 1986: We crave intimacy, and cannot live without it. It is not found in ceaseless work and striving, but in simply receiving grace.

The peculiar thing about our times is that while we seem to be so free and easy, so relaxed about what used to be thought of as intimate, yet at the same time we are hung up, truly hung up, about intimacy. I say the strange thing about us in this last half of the 20th century is that on the one ...read more
