Chains Broken, Life Transformed
Written by Jim Kretzler Acts 12:7- “And behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.” God delivers again! It is amazing to read how […]
Seek to Excel
Written by Emily Kline I Corinthians 14:12 exclaims, “Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.” We often find in scripture the call for every Christian to abound or excel in their life.

Inspired

The feminist movement, including the transgender crusade, is made up of many angry women railing against men in the name of civil rights activism. The second gentleman of the United States, Douglas Emhoff, has started a new campaign that […]
Truth
Written by Rachel Smith “Speak your truth.” I heard those words come from an administrator at my daughter’s school and it troubled me. Perhaps you have heard that expression. Schools, universities, politicians and churches have subscribed to this idea for quite some time. But consider its meaning. If we speak our truth instead of the […]
Speaking the Truth in Love
Written by Christie Karns Have you ever found yourself in a heated discussion with someone? You both feel very passionate about the topic yet both of your views are vastly different.
