The World Has Changed. Our Message Must Not by Rebecca Manley Pippert

Two years ago, we returned to live in America, and I was interviewed on a national radio show which included a phone-in Q&A session.

How Your Treasures Control the Desires of Your Heart by Adam Miller

Read: Matthew 5-7 Do you want to be more like Christ? The question seems pretty straightforward.

Follow Me, And I Will Make You Fishers of Men by Dr. Larry Moyer

Read: Matthew 4:18-22 Acknowledging Christ as Savior means coming to Him as a sinner, recognizing He took my punishment on a cross, and trusting Him alone as my only way to heaven.

God Feels, So Should You by Courtney Reissig

I’ve always had a rocky relationship with my feelings. I’ve spent a lot of my adult life wrestling with these emotions that seem so potent and real, with a perception that to feel too deeply signified a lack of faith. Am I faithless when I ask God “how long”? Can I still say I trust […]

When the Nations Rage | Psalm 2

Read: Psalm 2 Read: Revelation 5 I think it is safe to say that, as a result of a confluence of crises, tensions are high. Really high.
