Ask any believer who has been instructed, how God wants us to walk in this life. They will know the answer. Their parents, pastors, or institutions have given them all they need to know.

Eating the Bread of Toil
We know it is pointless to worry about things that are in God´s hands. But we do it every day. We charge off every morning to enter the day´s frantic rush. Often, we stay late finishing up or getting a little further because tomorrow will also be busy. Our entire societies run at this accelerated... Continue Reading →
Unless God Builds It
We are guilty. Christians today have been tricked. We know that God works above our powers to understand. He does more than we see to bring us in the best possible direction in life. Yet we still stumble by thinking we get where we need to go by our own efforts. We mean well enough.... Continue Reading →
The Upright in Heart

Lift Our Eyes
“Keep your chin up.” “Raise your sights.” The concept of improving always directs us to look higher than where we are. Christians also look up. We contemplate the Divine in His Glory. From wherever we find ourselves, we can always reach a loftier peak. There is always ground to be gained. It applies in every... Continue Reading →
The Soul Away Too Long
We have lived in this world and our societies for too long. Our eyes have had more than enough time to grow accustomed to our surroundings. We no longer gaze up in wonder and say to God above, “Show us Your Glory.” Some still gather and sing songs together. But when the sounds die down... Continue Reading →
Turn To God
Christians hold some pretty powerful resources that we have not learned to tap. We are connected to the Almighty in ways that could unleash His power and control into our lives.
