But it’s really a story about how the enemy of the soul attacks the Body of Christ. We’re going to look at that ...read more

    What We Make God Look Like

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 12, 2026
     | 392 views

    Holiness is not about impressing others, but accurately reflecting God’s character through our tone, reactions, and everyday faithfulness.

    We care about what we believe, what we say, and how we live. We want our faith to mean something. We want it to be credible. We want it to make sense to the people who know us best — our families, our coworkers, our children, our neighbors. And yet, if we’re honest, many of us live with a quiet ...read more

    True spiritual fruitfulness comes when we surrender our lives to God, trusting Him to bring new life and abundance from our acts of faith.

    There’s a wonder in the way God works that often begins small and quiet, like a seed resting in the palm of your hand. If you’ve ever planted one, you know the hush of that moment. You press it into the soil, cover it with a thin blanket of earth, and walk away with a mixture of faith and ...read more
