     | 225 views

    An encounter with the holy presence of God—like Moses, Isaiah, Peter, and Paul—humbles us, exposes our need, restores us by grace, and radically transforms our lives from self-focused comfort to surrendered obedience and purposeful mission.

    “We are saved by beholding. The soul is transformed by what it gazes upon. Look long enough at God and you begin to reflect Him. Religion can reform a life, but only an encounter with God can transform a heart.” A W Tozer As we turn the pages of Scripture and read about the great heroes of the ...read more

    In Paul's "to live is Christ, to die is gain," we learn a new boldness, a singlemindedness, and a fearless approach to death when God brings it. We can serve God fully with yearning expectation for the life to come.

    Philippians 1:21-26 Living with One Foot in Eternity Over the next four weeks, we’ll look at the tiny New Testament book of Philippians. It’s actually a letter the Apostle Paul wrote around 61 AD to the church in Philippi. Paul wrote from prison in Rome, probably during his first imprisonment, ...read more

     | 476 views

    In a world that thrives on lies, as children of God we must decide to follow Jesus who is the Truth. If we do not stand firm on the truth, we will find ourselves compromise with the lies of Satan, and making choices that are contradictory to the true values that God has set for us in His word.

    We read in Philippians 4:8, Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
