A Tiny Seed, A Tiny Deed

The Bible says:

Do not despise small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin… (Zechariah 4:10).

But somewhere deep inside us, our own voice of doubt mocks us:

I see what others have done with their lives and before I even get started — I'm discouraged. What can I possibly do that God isn't already doing through someone else?

Against a towering giant, a brook pebble seems futile. But God used it to topple Goliath. Compared to the tithes of the wealthy, a widow's c..

Walker Percy’s 1981 Letter to the New York Times on the Con and Doublespeak of the Abortion Discussion

19/05/2016 0 Comment

A letter from Walker Percy (1916-1990) printed on June 8, 1981, in the New York Times:

Covington, La. — I feel like saying something about this abortion issue. My credentials as an expert on the subject: none. I am an M.D. and a novelist. I will speak only as a novelist. If I give an opinion as an M.D., it wouldn’t interest anybody since, for one thing, any number of doctors have given opinions and who cares about another.

The only obvious credential of a novelist has to do with his trade. He ..

I Am Iron Man

Team Cap or Team Iron Man?

Captain America: Civil War practically demands its fans to take sides—even before they even walk into the theater.

When I went to my advance screening for Civil War, the PR reps asked me whose side I was on. I said Captain America, of course, and they handed me a blue wristband and waved me through.

I’ve always been a Cap guy. His motives are purer than Iron Man’s His movies are better. Heck, he’s better. Steve Rogers (played by Chris Evans) is an old-fash..

This Cry Assures Us of God’s Love

Not long ago we looked at God’s initiative in our adoption. The more aware we are of God’s initiative the more amazed we are of grace. Our position and status as adopted sons and daughters was secured by God’s initiative in sending his Son.

Today I will focus on the work of the Holy Spirit in our experience of adoption.

“God’s purpose was not only to secure our sonship by His Son,” John Stott writes, “but to assure us of it by His Spirit. He sent His Son that we might have the status of sonshi..

We are rapidly approaching a tipping point in America. The cultural wildfire is burning.

The day is coming, sooner than most think, when we will each have to choose whether to obey God or man, dictatorial bureaucrats or the Constitution, tyrannical judges or our own consciences.

The sooner we grasp this truth the better: simply because a court makes a ruling does not make it right.
Because a law exists is not sufficient reason to obey it.

When Pharaoh ordered all newborn boys to be slaughtered,..

The Two-Sided Secret of a Satisfying Marriage, Part 2

Men and women have differing needs. That fact is confirmed not only by the Bible, but by secular studies and research as well. Nearly all the studies I’ve seen in this area report that everyone has 10 or 12 basic needs, yet the top needs for women are very different from the top needs for men.

On practically all of the lists of needs that have been compiled, one particular need consistently shows up as being the most intense for men…

Comb Jelly Footage Surprises Scientists, Upends Evolutionary Expectations

AUGUSTINE, Fla. – Evolutionists are once again having to scrap existing beliefs and return to the drawing board after observing one type of sea creature perform a previously undiscovered function.

On March 14 and 15, several dozen biologists met in Florida for the Ctenopalooza workshop—an event designed to further the study of ctenophores, which are a type of jellyfish-like sea creatures. Speakers at the workshop presented ideas, discussed new areas of study, and shared recent research findings..

He Did It for You!

Jesus says to a doubting Thomas:Thomas, because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed (John 20:29).

When God entered time and became a man, he who was boundless became bound. Imprisoned in flesh.

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth (John 1:14).

No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God ..

Pastor Greg Laurie says trials happen so Christians can grow up spiritually

15/03/2016 0 Comment

Pastor Greg Laurie says, 'Many Christians are surprised to find that the Christian life is not a playground but a battleground.'

Trials are difficult, and during these moments, Christians are left wondering if God is still watching over them.

Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship says that people should not harbour these doubts because God is always with them.

“Trials are a bit like a cloud that may obscure the rays of the sun. When you go ..
