Waiting for God First, the American Way Second By : Patrick Roberts It would be very American of us to take God's kingdom into our own hands. God versus Americans By : Patrick Roberts God can save any people, no matter how far fallen they may seem. He continues even these days to show up to unsuspecting people in unexpected ways. Redeeming the Time By : Patrick Roberts The more we surrender our time to God, the less time will seem like an oppressive, systematic partitioning of days, hours and minutes. Christ-Centered Time Management By : Patrick Roberts God so drastically reduces everything that we once considered gain so we come to count all our old things, even our life, as loss in comparison with the greatness of knowing Jesus Christ. Christ our Rabbi By : Patrick Roberts Our relationship with Christ lives and grows like our relationships with other people. At the same time it is divinely unique, overflowing eternal significance. Flesh Versus Spirit By : Patrick Roberts The Spirit and the flesh do not go together easily. To the person whose heart is affected by this world, God's heavenly answers seem too inconvenient to accept without at least a little tweaking. God Answers Prayer on His Terms By : Patrick Roberts We cannot help but approach God on His terms. We breathe His air, live by whatever life He provides, and we speak to Him through this thing called "prayer," which He invented.

All the shiny anniversary gifts in the world from a cold, unloving husband are less than worthless to that man’s wife. It’s Not How We Rehearse, But How We Live That Counts By : Patrick Roberts God, in His wisdom, requires a soul-deep quality of character from us rather than anything we can manufacture on our own. This is reflected in His simple command for us, which is to work diligently with whatever grace He sees fit to give us. As we work with the grace He allots us right now, we will demonstrate our belief that He knows what He is doing. This is authentic, God-honoring faith. Christ or Cake? By : Patrick Roberts Jesus Christ embodies such an infinitude of variety that it becomes difficult for His followers to do anything by rote or just to go through the motions.

People who dare to dive into the straightforward Truth are rewarded with a new appreciation for bottomless mystery.

Our most treasured joys surprise us again and again for their exceedingly pure quality. Joy and God's Other Unexpected Gifts By : Patrick Roberts There is every desirable, heavenly asset in Christ, such as freedom, joy, grace, mercy, contentment, salvation, Godliness and love. Every heavenly gift takes root and is best expressed in Christ Himself. Joy Is Like a Train By : Patrick Roberts One major way Christ shows Himself to be God is by surprising us with joy. The joy that sneaks up and surprises us is the truest kind of joy. God’s Ways Are Above Men's Ways (or so the saying goes) By : Patrick Roberts God’s W With liberality we churchgoers throw around the phrase, “God’s ways are higher than men’s ways.” Because this saying is so uncomplicated and, especially after we have repeated it so many times, it seems unbelievable that we still fail to understand it. One indication that we do not understand this saying, “God's ways are higher than men’s ways,” is our inability to live it as everyday, relevant truth. ays Are Above Men's Ways (or so the saying goes) About Man-Made Religion By : Patrick Roberts Could it have been God who inspired this drunken stupor called “religion?” No, God would not encourage men toward something that makes them to forget Him. The Secret to Knowing Jesus Christ By : Patrick Roberts The secret to knowing Christ is to let Him reveal Himself however He desires. And the secret to knowing any eternal mystery grounded in Christ is to surrender to Him so He can teach us whenever and however He knows is best. When in doubt, the secret to knowing God is to give up our right to know anything about anything. The Sufficiency of Christ By : Patrick Roberts Christ Himself is the overarching First Rule. He envelops our lives in the workplace, marriage, familiar relations and (especially) in the way we do church. The Son of man is the singular Focus of our lives, working Himself out day after day as He patiently teaches us how to deal with every secondary concern. The Heart of the Gospel By : Pastor Gary Earls In the Hebrew culture the heart represents the very center of a person, their very being out from which all other things flow. Just as our physical heart my continue for our natural life to continue so must the heart of the Gospel continue so that we might find ourselves someday in the presence of the Holy One.

Wearing Your Faith By : Ruth Lanham Wearing Christian apparel identifies you as a Believer. With their bold messages and images, they can serve as powerful evangelistic tools. Wearing a Christian shirt allows you to witness to others in a non-threatening way. It will likely invite conversation, giving you the opportunity to plant a seed of faith. One True Church - Protestants Poo Poo Pompous Pope By : Rev Michael Bresciani Pope Benedict XVI has drawn fire from Protestants worldwide for saying in early July of 2007, that they are not part of the “true church.” Protestants have weighed in and the response has included everything from disappointment to anger. Almost all Protestants agree that ongoing efforts at ecumenical dialogue have been knocked back by a decade. Technology vs. Lord the Savior By : Rick D. Wynn The world is overflowing in technology, which has allowed us to traverse vast oceans, and even send probes into deep outer space. Christianity has learned to cultivate technology as well in order to spread the gospel across the world. Yet in the midst of our technological advancements, the world continues to fall apart. Sin today is more prevalent than any other time in history and it will continue to escalate until Jesus returns. How does technology relate to the increased sins of the world? NEW BEGINNINGS ARE COMING SOON! By : Margaret (Peggy) Kannaday This article was created to encourage the Body of Christ or The Family of God. The True Legacy of Tithes and Offerings By : Rick D. Wynn What is being taught in your church about tithes and offerings? Are people actually giving cheerfully as God commanded or are they giving reluctantly and in response to the pressures of the church? Why was Jesus wroth with the Pharisees concerning their demands of the people's tithes? If the Levites were commanded by God to collect the tithe in the Old Testament, then who did God commission to collect the tithe today? This article explores the truth about tithes and offerings. God's Unconditional Love By : Rick D. Wynn Many people around the world today are questioning God’s unconditional love. Perhaps people tend to assume that because some people end up in hell or because God sets upon us sentencing according to His law when we disobey His commandments, God’s love must be conditional. The only way we can truly know if God’s love is unconditional is to go directly to the source—God.
