    We are instructed to be aware of how our enemy works against us. However, it is also essential to know how God works. We need to learn His tactics so that we won't miss His hand moving in our life.

    We are God's masterpiece and we were made new in christ for a purpose.

    Who are we in Christ? Have you ever wondered about that? Just who are you, who am I, to God?

    Our jobs, no matter how mundane or chaotic they may seem, are part of God's work. We are called to join God in His work and find fulfillment in serving Him.

He's working in our lives and the lives of those around us. We need to be faithful and happy in the work He's given us. But joining God in His work ...read more

    Breath Of God Or Copd?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 4, 2023

     | 4,062 views

    I believe the modern church is suffering from spiritual COPD; we’re not getting the Breath of life from God often enough to animate us, transform us, heal & renew us, and help us overcome. God's Breath is our source of life, gives us purpose, & power.
