God, Our Reason and Our Goal

There is One who is so beautiful, wonderful, and mind-blowing that He is worth approaching. Before any mind was ever imagined or created, He was here. Then God came up with a plan to demonstrate how great He is. It was a plan that would bring children into His life to please Him and those... Continue Reading →

The Bible Is for Us

Christians today can slip into a dangerous way of thinking. They may like the thought of being a saved child of God so much that they do not seek more of the Lord. It can happen to any of us. And, it will unless we do something about it. Let us pray that we cultivate... Continue Reading →

Where Religion Is Real

There are many different takes on religion. Those who profess having it usually have very strong opinions. We also defend our opinions with deliberate force. The reason for this is that it touches the most vital aspects of our existence. But there is something we should all remember. We could spend our whole lives teaching... Continue Reading →

The Essential Humble Heart

Christian´s today place too much emphasis on an intellectual understanding of God. It is an important step in that we need to be aware of who God is. But it will never show us what meeting Him is like. That is reserved for the few who will press forward in spirit. We are creatures with... Continue Reading →

Letting the Spirit Take Over

Bible That Shows

When we know our Bibles well, we can imagine we are saved. Because we understand the teachings and agree with the doctrines, we call it belief. We come away with what we call our faith and then settle into fitting in with the religious scene. It may never occur to us that God has called... Continue Reading →

Another Kind of Encounter

It is a thrill to sense the heavens part and experience a powerful encounter with the Divine. This kind of spiritual high can fortify one´s faith and send us seeking the Lord in earnest. It can be so striking that the world loses its charm, and it can feed the faith of others. But there... Continue Reading →
