The Lord Shows His Excellence In All The Earth

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Sep 12, 2021

As we lead busy lives each week, we need to slow down. In the middle of the activity of work and school and home life and church life, we need to pause and ponder. For how often do we really think about who God is, who we are, and what to do with the few days on earth that God has given? It’s easy ...read more

Staying The Course Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

We might presently feel like we’ve been fighting for our Promised Land a long time. Fighting will wear us out and lead to discouragement. Battle is not a pretty sight, and as we tire of spiritual confrontation, we might be tempted to give up.

Last week we saw how becoming tired of incessant battle can lead to becoming impatient and attempting to rush what God is wanting to do in His way and His timing. It can also lead a person to feeling defeated and abandoning the fight. David boldly declared in Psalm 119, “I will run the course of ...read more
