With three kids still at home, it’s important to me to spend time in God’s nature on Sabbath. Daily we are bombarded with electronic messages pursuing us wherever we dare carry our smartphone, iPad, laptop, etc. So, taking time to slow the digital pace, increase the literal pace, and truly experience the...

In the past nine months, I lost three grandparents. They lived a good life, living into their nineties. Is there hope beyond the grave? Do you have hope for the future? I do! Are you longing for something better, something that is more fulfilling than...

What's On Your Altar?
Lisa Lothian · Jul 6 4 minute read

So, how is your faith doing today? Is all on the altar for God? This year, my husband and I were impressed to sell an income-generating property to downsize our life significantly. It was going on the "altar." The real estate market was booming, and we heard...

Worship in Spirit and in Truth
Worship in Spirit and in Truth
Helmut Haubeil · Jul 1 6 minute read

To worship in spirit certainly means to worship consciously, but also to be filled with the Holy Spirit. To worship in truth means living in complete surrender to Jesus, who is the truth in person. The main objective is worshiping God. In God’s last message to humanity, it has to do with worshiping the creator in contrast to worshiping the...

I love this bible verse because it so clearly reflects my life! I have been looking back on my life as a nurse for the past 36 years. I recall so many foolish decisions in my early years after finishing college, and I was naive and ignorant. It is a miracle that I am alive, and owe it all to...

Grandma’s Legacy
Grandma’s Legacy
Debi Tesser · Jun 24 6 minute read

The miracles of the Bible happened because the people of God were in constant communion with Him. When they pressed an issue before His throne of grace, they knew they could count on God to do His part because they had done theirs. Grandma knew firsthand the miracles God would work because she had that kind of relationship with Him. The legacy she left her family was to...

Mindset Matters. It’s in the news — whether you’re battling a cold, bouncing back after a big blunder, beating the blues, or braving a new and challenging task — mindset matters more than you may think. God has created these marvelous brains of ours with a capacity to improve in function, ability, and attitude with proper treatment, use, and exercise. The brain constantly...

There is a powerful parallel (between the Israelites in Egypt and God's people) for us today. We know nothing of heaven. All we know is life on earth is stained with darkness, temptations of every kind, cruelty, betrayal, disappointment, and death. We often fail to recognize our condition as...

Bread is best in taste and nutrition when it is fresh, true to natural ingredients, and unadulterated with chemicals. Just like bread, religion is also best when it is found in Christ who is pure, holy, and true.

The Oatmeal Dilemma
Andre T. Castelbuono · Jun 9 4 minute read

My dad came in, looked at my bowl, and asked, “Did you eat your oatmeal?” To which I sheepishly lied “yes.” He then asked me to follow him. I thought this was a little strange but I got up and walked behind him as he headed down the hallway, into the garage, through the door, and then pointed behind the...

A friend has been unemployed the last few months. A couple days ago, I received a request to pray for a new job and that there was a possibility being explored. Right away I wrote the request down including details. Less than 24 hours later I received a...
