    Call, Listen, And Wait, Lay It Down, And Leave It There

    Contributed by Dr. Jwt Spies on Mar 11, 2023

    What I love about God is “God has editing rights over our prayers. He will hear them, and then he will edit them, correct them, bring them in line with His will and then hand them back to us to be resubmitted.

    The world is full of people just like the ones that we just read about. Of the names we just read they were probably good people, upstanding citizens, and probably great to hang out with. However, we probably would never even have read their names, if it hadn’t been for Jabez and his memorable ...read more

    Good Things Come To Those Who Wait

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jul 9, 2015
     | 9,191 views

    When we receive the bread and wine during Holy Communion, we are holding Christ’s very body and blood, which was nailed to the cross and poured out for our forgiveness. We have seen it with our own eyes and felt it with our own hands and on our tongues.

    Have you ever heard of the old saying, “Good things come to those who wait”? If so, the story of Simeon, Anna and the baby Jesus in the temple in Lune 2:22-40 is a good example. The coming of Christ involved all manner of waiting on God. A young maiden, a dying man and an old widow all ...read more

    The period between Easter and Pentecost is divided into two distinct periods, punctuated by the Ascension of Jesus at the end of forty days. The final ten days were given a sharp focus by the final command of Jesus to wait. Those ten days were certainly an "in-between time."

    Waiting Upon the Lord Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.
