The Beginning And The End
When I can’t sleep, I spend that time in prayer and think of worship songs. On one such occasion recently, I was thinking of an older Michael W. Smith song where he lists several names of God in Scripture. When I got to Alpha and Omega, the Lord stopped me. He put a vision in my mind of an early morning. He told me
Finish The Race
Are you familiar with the story of the marathon runner in Mexico City at the 1968 Olympic games? Hours behind the runner in front of him, the last marathoner finally entered Olympic stadium. By that time, the drama of the day’s event was almost over and most of the spectators had gone home. But the story of Tanzanian marathoner John Stephen Akwari was still
Have Abundant Faith
One of the greatest stories of the Bible is David and Goliath. The world has come to make common use of it. A prime example of this is when the underdog faces an invincible champion in just about any sport on television, commentators always seem to make mention of David and Goliath. Imagine the scene at the time of David. The children of Israel
Letters From Our Listeners
Some emails we have received from our listeners around the world…. Location: Unknown I have been diagnosed with this year with cancer and overcoming it through Him via prayer and intercession from friends and my church members. It is so valuable to guard our hearts as music is such a powerful influence in our lives. Your mix of contemporary music along with contemporary praise is what I
Picking Up The Pieces
We were all taught the nursery rhyme about Humpty Dumpty who fell into pieces and “all the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty together again.” Sometimes we feel like Humpty Dumpty. Our lives have been shattered by traumatic events, or a difficult life. We feel as if no one can pick up the pieces and that we are a
The Grindstone
A grindstone is a revolving disk made of stone which is used for grinding, polishing or sharpening. It can commonly be seen grinding down wheat, or sharpening and polishing metal for various purposes. At first glance, this information may not seem all that interesting to you. However, a wise man once compared life to a grindstone. He said whether life grinds us down or
The Rear View Mirror
We know a Christian woman who has struggled with the past for years. She rarely thinks or speaks of anything else. And as a result, her life has just spiraled downward, despite all our attempts to minister to her. It breaks our hearts to see. Have you ever tried looking in your rear view mirror while you drive your car forward? Sounds ridiculous, doesn’t
Give of Yourself
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7 A wise man once said, “There’s nothing more powerful than the heart of a volunteer”. It’s so easy to get into the mindset that giving and serving God is a chore, it’s our job, our duty. We give valuable consideration
Are We Too Busy?
Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God. Daniel 6:10 Let’s consider Daniel for a moment. Here is one of the great rulers of the Persian empire, in charge of the
Lay Your Burdens Down
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30 This is one of my favorite passages in the Bible.
