Jordan knew that God was leading her. She had decided she would leave everything behind and go to a six-week program in Australia hosted by David Assherick. This six-week program would train her to become a Bible worker. Oppositions were coming from every angle, but there was no doubt in Jordan's mind that she...

Hearing the Voice of God
Lisa Lothian · Dec 28 5 minute read

People have often told me that I have a distinctly defining voice. Many times, people have identified me by my voice before they see my face. That probably happens to many of us. How about God’s voice? Can we hear Him? How are we able to identify His voice above all the others around us? Is it possible?

There’s a strong correlation between how much sleep you get and how stressed you are. It’s a vicious cycle that can cause mental distress and even wreak havoc on your physical well-being. It’s a well-known fact that people who don’t get enough sleep are lethargic and constantly experiencing an energy slump. This causes irritability, which...

Melody Mason · Dec 16 10 minute read

A number of years ago I was taking some time to fast and pray, feeling convicted of my own spiritual, Laodicean condition. That's when I felt God calling me to also fast and pray for my church, and especially for those who serve in positions of leadership. This started me on a beautiful journey to this day, seeking to...

You may have experienced the power of prayer and thanksgiving in your life. The Bible tells us, "Don't worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking him with a thankful heart, (Philippians 4:6 GNT).

We have three terms in the development of the Christian life: justification, sanctification, and glorification. All three have been ambiguous, at least for me. “Justification” seems to happen in the moment. “Glorification” apparently happens when Jesus comes. “Sanctification,” which is becoming holy, seems impossible.

I recall when my four-year-old niece invited me to read the book "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Seuss. I declined. She insisted, "You'll like it." I was absolutely positive I would not like a book with such a title. At her insistence, I relented as she pressed in hard. As I progressed through the pages, I realized...
