    This picture, much less this statement, surprises a lot of people. Some people think a deity ought to behave differently. Gods, so the popular image goes, sit far off, throw lightning bolts, or send angels. What kind of god would get so close to his su

    Contributed by David Henderson on Aug 28, 2018
     | 9,789 views

    All of us are called to serve God full time. I also came to the understanding that serving him as my vocation, as my job, was indeed what he wanted from me. It is God’s desire that every believer will serve him full-time-nothing more-nothing less.

    “Finding Your Identity” 1st Peter 2:5-10 I remember God speaking to me about entering the ministry when I was 11 years old. I was actively attending church and God had placed a call on my life. Sometimes it is hard to describe to someone who has not received that call but I have never doubted it. ...read more

Our actual response can reflect two unfortunate tendencies: • One part of us acts as if God works FOR us…. And of course we can get a bit frustrated that He’s not showing up to work. ...read more

    Namaan was a mighty man, a warrior, a commander and highly respected and honored by man, but he was leper. God’s view of greatness is different from that of the world. We need to be great in God’s eyes.

    based on 40 ratings
     | 8,559 views

    We are powerless to change things only because we give power away and do not know how to reclaim it. We can do so first by affirming that change comes only through Jesus Christ, and then by believing that He partners with us when we pray. To do any less

    We are never powerless. We think we are. We think we cannot change the things that trouble us. But in fact we are never powerless. We just give away our power. We give away our power and do not know how to claim it again. Those who have power over us have it only because we let them ...read more
