Contributed by Gregory Mc Donald on Dec 15, 2008

Receiving And Treasuring

Contributed by Ed Warfield on Apr 3, 2008

If we don’t understand the purpose of the Word, we’ll miss out on the life of God. Through His Word, God transforms us more into his likeness. Every word in scripture is a doorway to the heart of God and a stairway into the realms of God.

Proverbs 2:1 – “…if you receive my words and treasure my commands within you…” The “receiving” refers to how we posture ourselves before the Word of God and ...read more

Re-Visioning

Contributed by Tim Smith on Mar 9, 2009

The next year they elected a town government. The third year the town government planned to build a road five ...read more

Restoring The Cars

Contributed by Michael Trask on May 15, 2006

This wonderful section of scripture on the Love of God and our Love for others is explained by way of an extended analogy. God is like a "car guy" who sees a "classic" in a rust bomb. We must have the same eyes when we consider others.

Have you ever known one of those guys who are into restoring cars? Most of us do. They scour the junkyards and the abandoned farmsteads of the midwest looking for old wrecks. When you we see a dilapidated old rust bomb sitting out in a field with weeds growing through the rusty ...read more

Show Me Your Hands!

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 16, 2016
