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

The cry of the Psalmist has gone up before the Lord for ages. The words call for the Lord to look into the hearts of His children. We all know pain and loss. Suffering comes to the good and the bad. But some long within their souls to let only love and righteousness reign within... Continue Reading →

Souls Escaped

People who turn their eyes to God and listen have a powerful story of our human race to contemplate. He has gone to great lengths to show us that more is happening in and around us than meets the eye. Our story is one of tragedy, suspense, and hope. The tragedy is that we once... Continue Reading →

The Way We Look to God

It comes across a lot in Christian talk. We say look to God and then brush right by before any clarification or questions are needed. But we will never see the significance in those three words until we dig into what we mean by them. A simple definition would place the believer in a position... Continue Reading →
