Doing Lesser Things

Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 19, 2022

When we are at work, we know what is important and what not. Sometimes we make a list and set it up in priority. We typically don't do the least important things first. God has a list for us. We need to make sure we are doing the important things.

Contributed by Brett Crosson on May 1, 2019

Biblically speaking, Humility has a lot to do with fasting and vise-versa. Fasting had to do with mourning. Jesus was asked: why don’t your disciples fast. He ...read more

If Your Presence Does Not Go With Us, Do Not Bring Us Up From Here

Contributed by Jose R. Hernandez on Apr 9, 2011

We haven’t fully experienced God’s presence in our life because we haven’t been actively seeking it. In other words, we only seek God’s presence when we find ourselves in tight spots, or when we want something. Why do we act this way?

In other words, sometimes we experience situations, or we have to go through circumstances that weaken and/or discourage us. Sometimes we have to go through situations that rob our peace, and attempt to make us lose ...read more
