We all have times of dryness in our relationship with God, and it could be for a variety of reasons. But sometimes it's because we harbor unconfessed sin our life. Isaiah gives us a path forward, a way to renew our relationship with the Lord.

Isaiah 64:1-9 When God Hides Have you ever had a winter season of faith? You pray, but your prayers seem to bounce off the ceiling? You wonder if you really know God, or if God knows you?

He wrote, “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making ...read more

The Christian - The Judgement Seat Of Christ – Part 2 Of 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 27, 2025

Above all things God wants faithfulness. Rewards attach to a faithful servant. God is a God of small things and in quietness and confidence is our strength. We look at the quality of works and the testing by fire. To not make the mistake of “TRYING to do” for a reward as that is wrong.

THE CHRISTIAN - THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST – PART 2 OF 3 In the last study we opened up this subject to see both the joy and seriousness of it. This time we will consider more aspects of The Judgement Seat of Christ including what brings reward and the quality of deeds done for Christ. I will ...read more

Moles Or Souls? Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 21, 2009

based on 4 ratings

Some of us choose darkness, like moles burrowing into the ground. Our behavior becomes obsessively demonic, for which there are consequences. The Gospel calls us to be what God has made us to be, creatures living in the light, with passion.

Well, now, are you a mole or a soul? I want you to identify yourself, clearly and unequivocally, are you a mole or a soul? I suppose that does require a bit of explanation. A mole is a little creature that lives out its life underground, in the darkness, endlessly burrowing to and fro and making ...read more
