The Courage to Repent

By Rachael Sales   

How does someone who’s been late and unprepared all of their lives repent into a lifestyle of organization and preparedness? How does a quick-tempered wife and mother repent into a lifestyle of gentleness and patience with her husband and children? How does the drug addict repent into a life of drug free living? Such are the mysteries of mankind and in the silence of such unanswered questions lies evidence of the world’s need for a savior.

The Freedom To Hear The Good News

By Jennifer Kearson   

While channel surfing the television set on a rainy Saturday morning, I stumbled upon a cartoon that was already in progress with this small female ant getting trapped inside a large powder compact by the evil male bee. As I was getting ready to switch the channel, I heard and saw this lady begin praying to God. Naturally, the word, God caught my eye. I couldn’t believe what I heard.

Stop Going To Church

By John T. McNeal  

Two weeks ago, my pastor asked our entire congregation to stop going to church.  He was very sincere in his delivery of this message and everyone was motionless. If someone from the upper sound booth had dropped a pin, it would have made a terrible crash as it hit the floor. What was even more perplexing was when he started to really look serious. It seemed that we were waiting for the punch line as if he had just told a joke. The only problem was there was no joke told.

Fight The Power

By Tim Miller   

With the presidential election coming up this year, we’ve had the chance to see more than our share of prospective candidates.  As we’ve seen, the Democratic race has been extremely tight and heated.  Many Republicans seem disenfranchised with their party.  I’ve talked to many Christians who feel that it’s not even worth the time to go vote this year.  Many others are actually in fear of certain candidates winning the presidency because of what they may do.  So what does this all mean?  Today as I was doing my daily Bible reading.  I came across a verse that puts it all in perspective.
