God's Country?

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 10, 2025

America is not Jerusalem. American is not the new Israel. Our country is not protected as Israel was. But WE, the church of Jesus Christ, are.

But not everyone came to this country for religious reasons. Many ...read more

Complete In Jesus

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 9, 2022

Have you ever questioned your salvation? As long as we keep our trust totally in Christ, we stand assured of God’s promise of eternal life. But as soon as we rest any weight on the thin ice of our own efforts, we topple into insecurity.

Have you ever wondered about your salvation; about whether or not you are going to heaven when you die? Some questions we might have are, “What am I supposed to do in order to gain God’s acceptance and love?” “Do I have to read the Bible all the way through?” “Do I have to knock on a million ...read more

Held By Grace

Narrow Bed & Short Blanket

Contributed by Charles Payne on Jan 29, 2026

Isaiah describes a bed too short to stretch out on and a blanket too narrow to keep warm (Isaiah 28:20). It is God’s picture of false security—things that appear sufficient until we try to rest in them.

That night, a cold wind blew and it came in under the edges of our tent and down the neck of my sleeping bag. Needless to say, I ...read more
