Feeling Abandoned In Times Of Adversity

We look at past times when God has come to our aid. We see others experience healing, the injured become whole again and others who seem to avoid tragedy all together.

Correcting The Misspelled Words In Your Life

An Alarming Approach to Praising God

Our love for God should overwhelm us to the point that it is a natural outpouring into our lives each day — a frequent praise of God as we experience him in the moments of each day.

Obedience to God by the Numbers

Ask Not What God Can Do For You, But What You Can Do For God

It’s hard to believe it was 50 years ago today when John F. Kennedy gave his inaugural speech. On that day he recited those now infamous words, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” It was a stirring challenge that inspired a generation. Yet that […]
