"Sifting, Taking Out The Trash"

Contributed by James Lee on Nov 22, 2013

Our lives are placed through a sifter. With each new day, the crank is turned and a few more of our rough edges disappear as the finer parts of our new man and the coarse parts of our sinful, fleshly nature are revealed so that these character flaws can be discarded.

I bring out a sifter with flour, rocks and stick mixed together and set it on the table, next to a pile of un-sifted flour. I can remember not too many years ago when we used an old hand operated flour sifter. It was a simple little contraption that consisted of a little tin can with a screen in ...read more

A Lazy Man’s Vineyard

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jun 12, 2020

A little laziness would ruin a great harvest. It is time for us to be busy for Christ and reap a mighty harvest.

Having Good Roots

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 15, 2022

What is having good roots? Is it being well grounded? Is it to have a firm foundation? Is it how they were raised as children? Some people talk about having good roots but their actions counter to what they say.

God does not pass judgment on individuals based on race, sex, or national origin. His judgment of them is based on their trust in Him, their obedience, and their reaction to His will. The individuals who tenaciously work or attempt to comply with God’s will resemble vigorous, fruit­ bearing ...read more
