    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 11, 2025

    Return To A Listening Heart

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 22, 2025
     | 85 views

    A pastor’s burden exposes spiritual deafness in the church and calls believers and leaders alike to listen, repent, realign, and return to Christ.

Moments when you stand before God with His people on your heart and realize that what troubles you most is not persecution from the outside, but resistance on the inside. God spoke through Jeremiah to a people who were ...read more

    How Firm A Foundation

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 10, 2026
     | 82 views

    The Christian life is not about regaining control, but about learning where to stand when control was never ours to begin with.

    There are moments in history when people realize—often quietly rather than dramatically—that something fundamental has shifted. Not because life has ended or collapsed completely, but because assumptions that once felt solid have been exposed. The structures we trusted may still stand, but they ...read more
