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

Restoring The Broken Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 30, 2007

When you let the natural nature of the human heart take over you don’t go from bad to good you go from bad to worse. Yet in the midst of a tragic story we find tremendous hope.

The events of Judges 19-21 probably represent the worst of the worst of the history of Israel. They happened, surprisingly, not long after Joshua passed away signaling, I think, the fact that shortly after conquering the Promised Land, the people fell away quickly into idolatry which then infected ...read more

The Restoration Of Hope

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Dec 3, 2011

To wish is about what we want from God; hope is waiting for that which God wants for us.

Eugene Peterson (Living the Message: Daily Help for Living the God-Centered Life) points out that what a lot of people call hope is in reality something different. It’s wishing, not hoping: and wishing and hoping are not the same thing. "Wishing," Peterson says, "is something all of us do. It ...read more

God's Restoration

Contributed by Dr. Amen Howard on Jul 31, 2014

The Bible tells us in Exodus 23: 26 that “There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

The question now is why do Christians miscarry their blessings, why are there so much barrenness in the Christendom? If your life is not in agreement with Exodus 23:26, it means that the devil has stolen the original purpose and has replaced it with his counterfeit which he has the right to take ...read more

Expert Restoration

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 7, 2014

A Restored Vision

Contributed by Blake Inscore on Sep 26, 2008

I believe it is God’s desire for His church to begin seeking Him today so that we can catch HIS vision for what He wants to do through HIS Church.

Introduction: It is sad to say; but many churches have turned away from the original vision God gave to them. I have never been part of a church that hasn’t struggled with that in some manner. But just because we may lose sight for a time of “who” we are, and “what” God has called us to do ...read more
