Modern Day Miracles, Do They Happen As You May Think They Should?

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jul 6, 2025

We read of Jesus, and his disciples too, performing great miracles, and so, after studying Christianity for years, you would think that there would come a point … where we should be equipped to perform some kind of miracle … and we do not, so why?

One Cry Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Apr 15, 2012

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

Paul shows how to return and keep moving—admitting we haven’t arrived, forgetting what holds us, and pressing on toward Christ (Philippians 3:12–16). The direction is the point: let go of past wins and wounds, lean forward, and run because Christ already holds you.
