You remember what Jesus said about persisting in prayer, so you go on battering at the heavenly gates - for ...read more

Abusing Grace

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 27, 2011

“Grace” is such an abused topic in most churches today. It is not some celestial catch-all to allow us to mess up and then say “God’s grace covers me.” Personal responsibility has a place in Christianity. God’s grace makes our spiritual growth and “perfec

Opening illustration: After a 4-year-old got into trouble at preschool, his mom asked him what he had done wrong. He explained, “I was angry with a playmate.

A Needed Vision

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jun 2, 2013

Intimacy With God In Psalm 139

Contributed by Rod Galindo on May 3, 2011
