When I look deep down and ask myself what I really want for my life, I know that the accumulation of things is not it. These ...read more

Things Not For Sale Series

Contributed by Wayne Cordeiro on Nov 13, 2007

We often mess up our Christian lives, not because we are malicious or evil, but because we are frail and needy. We need a power beyond ourselves to win that fight. We need something that is bigger than we are.

Betwixt and Between As Christians, each of us will experience struggle. We will struggle when we know the right thing to say or do, but we just cannot do it. It may be due to our pride, or a principle, or we are angry, or we just can’t accept a different perspective. We know something is wrong, ...read more

Paul Was Persuaded, How About You?

Contributed by Samuel Fulkerson on Aug 23, 2012

The price of Redemption had been paid at the Cross, however until Jesus brought His precious blood into the Holy of Holies made without hands, the Redemption of the purchased possession (THE CHURCH) was still in expectation, not possession.

I've Fallen And I Can't Get Up

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 16, 2009
