    God’s purpose for our lives

    Many islands in the Pacific Ocean appear to be tiny points of land that rise only a few thousand feet above sea level. Yet the foundations of those peaks extend for miles underwater. In fact, if measured from their base, some would tower above the Himalayas. In a similar way, the salvation that we ...read more

    The secret of reaching men is to know the secret of reaching God. The most powerful ongoing Christian witness has always been the speaking of God’s Word by one who is living in God’s Word.

    Who does God use? Whom does God use? Those who are willing to be used by Him. All believers are candidates for Kingdom service. Your ability is not the issue, but your availability.

    Calling All Nobodies

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 2,814 views

    The idolatrous priest Amaziah tries to intimidate the prophet Amos. He did not appreciate Amos’ message against the king. But Amos wan't trying to be popular--God had called him out of an ordinary life of shepherding and gathering fruit. In other words, Amos was a nobody.

    This passage teaches us a valuable lesson: God calls and uses nobodies, those who are shunned by the world or overlooked. Amos, Moses, and David were just shepherds. Joseph was just a boy with a dream. Ruth was an outcast, an outsider. Esther was just a regular Jewish girl. These people were ...read more

    To explore the power and potential of faith, and how our belief in God can help us overcome any obstacle.

    Good morning, family! You know, there's this quote that I often come back to, from a man named A.W. Tozer. He once said, "Faith is the gaze of a soul upon a saving God."
