In Our Own Sight: Aura, Listen

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jul 9, 2021

We have a lost art in our homes and churches, seems few are listening. Communication is more than talking all the time. We have frozen communication lines because few are listening. Swift to hear. Slow to speak.

Living A Life Worthy Of Christ

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Oct 21, 2006

We cannot be worthy of Christ’s love and sacrifice, but the Bible DOES encourage us to WALK IN A MANNER WORTHY of Christ. We walk on two legs -- education of God’s Word, and action for God.

In this, the opening verses of his letter, Paul praises the Colossians for the good that is in their church, and by encouraging them in verse 10 to “live a life worthy of Christ.” “Live a life worthy of Christ…” -- Easier said than done.

Contributed by Bala Samson on Feb 21, 2016

Don’t we also unnecessarily get scared of things that are just like these spiders which look big and scary with the eight long legs that actually fold up when you attack?

Spooky Spiders! Deuteronomy 28:7"The LORD will conquer your enemies when they attack you. They will attack you from one direction, but they will scatter from you in seven!” I'm not scared of spiders; nevertheless, I don’t want to see them anywhere in my home; I want to get rid of ...read more

The Race Is His But Your Faithfulness Matters

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Aug 2, 2025

Because the race belongs to Christ alone, we are called not to carry its full weight but to run our leg with faithfulness—working, resting, and trusting that our part in God’s eternal plan matters.

The Race Is His But Your Faithfulness Matters Time is short, eternity is long, so live your life wisely Longevity is a grace—an extension of time from the hand of God. But with it often comes a sobering awareness: the words of Genesis 3:19 still echo through time—“for you are dust, and to dust ...read more

The Sons Of Thunder

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 6, 2023

Jesus nicknamed James and John the "Sons of Thunder," because of their swift, brash and judgmental temperaments. They were ready to call down fire on people. But we see how the Spirit transformed John into the Apostle of Love. Has God changed you?

Does Your Church Want To Get Well?

Contributed by David Wilson on Oct 15, 2012

Some churches suffer from a defeated attitude when Jesus calls us to take simple steps, not giant steps. We aren't on an escalator, but must move our legs to climb the stairs set before us.

Attended a confernece on recognizing, halting, and preenting decline in the local church this past Saturday. In reading the foreword to the book "Reaching the summit" by George L.

Train Your Conscience - Part 2 Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 22, 2021

The Lord warns us that our eyes should be trained to be pure. Many are struggling with the sins of the eyes, because while there is much restriction as to what one can do with their hands and legs, there is no restraint set as to what one can do with their eyes.

To summarize briefly, we understand that our conscience is placed inside of us by God Himself, it is God’s gift to us, which serves as our internal audit to help us be aware of what is ...read more
