    God is always present and active in our lives, promising expansion, blessings, and abundance, and we should open our hearts to receive these gifts.

    Good morning family, I was reminded this week of a quote from renowned Christian theologian, A.W. Tozer, who said, "We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts." Opening Scripture Reading – I believe this truth is ...read more

    Easy As Falling Off Your Horse

    Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Jun 3, 2007
     | 2,369 views

    We, like Paul, as followers of Christ, Christians, are sent to the Gentiles of our time: secular humanists, moral relativists, materialists, even atheists, to open their eyes, like Saul’s were opened by Ananias, so they may turn from darkness to light.

As Saul Paulus of Tarsus, he was a rising star in the rabbinical leadership of the time. When Saint Stephen was stoned to death as the first Christian martyr, Paul stood by, ...read more

     | 5,000 views

    In uncertain times, it remains true that giving away what we cannot possess anyway is the path to fulfillment; it must, however, be a gift that refreshes the fainting.

    It seems that we do not have what we think we have. Sometimes what seems to be ours is not ours at all. Buildings as sturdy as the Pentagon and as imposing as the World Trade Center can be destroyed in a moment of awful terror. Lives promising and beautiful are snuffed out, and there is little ...read more
