The Solution Series

Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Jul 12, 2012

Perhaps it's time for us as Christians to move out of our advisory mindset and into soiling our hands in the work of transformation.

Jesus Sat Down

Contributed by Gbemisola Fafowora on Nov 1, 2020

After Jesus went to present His blood to His Father, He sat down on the right hand of His Father.

So many of us in the body of Christ do not yet fully understand the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. We need a deep revelation from the Holy Spirit to help us to grasp what Jesus did for us all. Jesus came to restore the kingdom back to us and to redeem us all from the hands ...read more

Cistern Challenge

Contributed by Robert Butler on Oct 3, 2019

The only pit we are stuck in is the one we don't recognize the hand of God reaching towards us.

In many ways, much of life is set up like the challenge. We are given a problem in life and we have to solve it. However as Christians I would suggest we also have to look at the puzzle a little differently. How will this situation demonstrate faith to those around us? Let’s face it..Everyone has 3 ...read more

At the end of the story, only one trust remains: the trust of the one who handed over himself—literally and sacramentally- for us

In the book Regarding the Pain of Others, the author, Susan Sontag, concludes that seeing news articles and images of war and suffering is necessary so we know what is happening, but it puts us in a position as either "spectator" or "coward," and that both positions are ...read more

Childishness And Small Religion

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025

Jesus calls us to lay down childish stubbornness and take His hand in trusting, growing childlikeness that welcomes the Kingdom.

Have you noticed that Jesus holds two ideas in tension? He tells us to be childlike …and also warns us not to be childish. Only Jesus can say, “Become as little children” and “Grow up”…in the very same breath. He sees what we cannot. He can tell the difference. Our passage today is Luke 7:31-35. ...read more

The Sovereignty Of God Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 8, 2015

God’s the infinite Ruler of all; He is “running the show.” Nothing can prevent His predetermined plan. Nothing takes Him by surprise. Those who see God’s hand in everything can best leave everything in God’s hand.

It’s been said, “How do you make God laugh? Tell Him your plans” (G.K. Chesterton). Our plans aren’t always in line with God’s. We may try to fight God’s will, but someone pointed out, “Your arms are too short to box with God” (J. W. Johnson). The ...read more
