Abide, Appear, Ashamed

Profile picture for user Gordon Conner
By Gordon Conner, Saturday, September 28, 2019
3 Words from 1 John 2:28
These are affectionate words—little children. I know we like to think we are all “grown up” but sometimes we need to be reminded that God sees us as His children—precious and loved by Him. However, our position as God’s children doesn’t give us permission to remain immature in the faith.

Use Your GPS

Profile picture for user Alan Fong
By Alan Fong, Friday, September 13, 2019
Letting God Direct Your Way
I remember the days before there was GPS. I would order road maps from AAA, or purchase a Thompson Map. I would study the map to get a clear idea of how to reach my destination. In every situation, the road map got me to where I needed to be.

Profile picture for user Dr. Paul Chappell
By Dr. Paul Chappell, Monday, August 26, 2019
We know that God’s Word is profitable in every area of life and ministry (2 Timothy 3:16). But how often do we purposefully give it entrance into our lives?

When Our Intentions Become Commitment

Profile picture for user Dr. Mike Edwards
By Dr. Mike Edwards, Thursday, August 22, 2019
There Is a World of Difference Between Good Intentions and True Resolve That Translates into Changed Living

A lot of people would love to be Joshua, the man of conviction seen in Joshua 24:15. But before you can be the Joshua of verse 15, you must be the Joshua of verse 14.

The Battle Is the Lord’s

Profile picture for user Dr. Paul Chappell
By Dr. Paul Chappell, Monday, August 12, 2019
Sometimes, given the overwhelming nature of ministry, we tend to default to one of two extremes: giving up or pushing forward in our own strength.

When Courage Doesn’t Roar

Profile picture for user Monica Bass
By Monica Bass, Saturday, August 10, 2019
The Lord Is the Source of Our Strength
Sometimes courage doesn’t roar. Sometimes courage is trying again when you don’t feel you have it in you to go on. Sometimes it is pressing forward when lack of visible progress dampens your resolve.

The Blessings and Burden of Social Media

Profile picture for user Dr. Paul Chappell
By Dr. Paul Chappell, Monday, August 5, 2019
Technology is interesting in that the more integrated into your life a particular aspect of it becomes the more likely you are to take it for granted. And perhaps the less likely you are to consider its impact on your life—for good or for bad.

How to Fight Three Common Enemies of the Soul

Profile picture for user Dr. Paul Chappell
By Dr. Paul Chappell, Monday, July 29, 2019
We easily name the world, the flesh, and the devil as the three primary enemies of the Christian life—and rightly so. Ephesians 2:2–3, 1 John 2:15–16, and dozens of other passages deal with these three enemies of the soul. But rarely do these present themselves unveiled in the heart of a Christian.

What I Observed From A Seasoned Soulwinner

By Scott Pauley, Wednesday, July 10, 2019
Recently, a dear man in the church where I was preaching asked if we could go witnessing together. It was such a privilege to listen to him share Christ with holy enthusiasm. He has been doing it for over half a century.

Being a Flight 93 Christian

Profile picture for user Dr. Mike Edwards
By Dr. Mike Edwards, Monday, June 3, 2019

On the morning of September 11, 2001, United Flight 93 took off from Newark’s Liberty International Airport bound for San Francisco. There were forty-four people on board, all of whom would lose their lives that day. Four terrorists took over the plane with the intention of flying it to the Washington DC area and crashing it into one of our government buildings or memorials. They very probably would have succeeded, except for the bravery of the passengers and crew onboard that day.

4 Characteristics of a Godly Influence in the Office

Profile picture for user Lisa Stoner
By Lisa Stoner, Friday, May 24, 2019
Helping Others Get Closer to God
If you are on the staff of a church, you are an example to someone. You may just think of yourself as a secretary, or office worker, but in reality you are more than that. Just being “on staff” makes you an example and a leader. You need to accept it, and allow it to affect what you do and how you behave.

What If?

Profile picture for user Dr. Don Sisk
By Dr. Don Sisk, Tuesday, May 14, 2019
Our Response to God’s Call Has Far-Reaching Consequences
Many years ago I was reading a prayer letter from a missionary in the Dominican Republic. In the last paragraph, the missionary wrote these words, “Alexis asked me a couple months ago: ‘What would have happened to me and all the people in our church if you had not come to the Dominican Republic?’”

4 Lessons from the Life of Caleb

Profile picture for user Dr. Mike Edwards
By Dr. Mike Edwards, Saturday, May 4, 2019
“Give Me This Mountain”
I find Caleb to be one of the most inspiring personalities in the Old Testament. At eighty-five years old, he had not relinquished the spirit that had motivated him when he was forty. He still believed that through the help and power of God great things could be accomplished. Mountains could be possessed!

The Kind of Christians Who Bear Burdens

5 Traits of Burden-Bearing Christians
In over thirty-two years as a pastor, I’ve known many burden-bearing Christians. But I’ve discovered that, while some people may do this initially because of their natural temperament, Christians who do this over the decades do so because of growth in grace.

Trusting God In a Changing World

Profile picture for user Troy Dorrell
By Troy Dorrell, Thursday, April 18, 2019
In the midst of Change and Trial, Jesus Never Faltered
It’s amazing how quickly life can change. We live in a fast paced, and the life we live can be very unpredictable. Circumstances can change, people can change, and of course, we all know how quickly the weather can change. With sudden change often comes a sense of uncertainty or insecurity.
