Galatians...
'Today's Little Lift' from Jim Bullington
Chapter 3 – The Inferior Rank Law (3/13) We Must Begin and End with Faith (3.1-5) 3/3 God Himself was being challenged in Galatia. The Judaizer's challenge to Paul was a challenge to God who authored his gospel. God's way of revealing the gospel was one that offered absolute proof of it…(continue reading article)
Afflictions
'The Way' from Kevin Pauley
Man born of woman is short of days and full of trouble. He blossoms like a flower, then withers; he flees like a shadow and does not last. - Job 14:1-2 HCSB I recently went through two years of agonizing pain and confinement to a wheelchair. I also permanently lost a lot of my hearing. Though I did not enjoy the…(continue reading article)
I See Dead People
'Find the Call' from Andy Castro
It's true. I see dead people. It's not a daily occurrence but on average every couple of weeks or so. I have to wonder why I am privy to see them. I didn't ask for this and I certainly didn't expect it to happen. When it first happened, about 3 months ago, I was quite shocked and was very moved emotionally. It…(continue reading article)
Troubles
''Christ in You...'' from Dale Krebbs
There is an old Christian melody that includes the phrase. “…troubles trouble us all”. Who among us, if we are striving to live as Christ wants us to live, have not experienced troubles of one kind or another. In a world that steadily grows more dangerous and difficult to live in as Christians, at…(continue reading article)
Prayer for Fathers
'Refreshment in Refuge' from Gina Burgess
Lord God Almighty, our Father in Heaven, your holiness overwhelms. Your love endures forever. Thank you for our daddies. Thank you for giving them the wisdom when to say yes and when to say no. Thank you for their lovingkindness and their faith. Father, thank you for teaching them so they could teach us. Thank you,…(continue reading article)

Our Field of Battle
"For the LORD your God is He that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you." Deuteronomy 20:4
We have no enemies but the enemies of God. Our fights are not against men but against spiritual wickednesses. We war with the devil, and the blasphemy, and error, and despair, which he brings into the field of battle. We fight with… — ( click here to read more )
Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening"
Morning and Evening for July 16
"They gathered manna every morning."
- Exodus 16:21
Labour to maintain a sense of thine entire dependence upon the Lord's good will and pleasure for the continuance of thy richest enjoyments. Never try to live on the old manna, nor seek to find help in Egypt. All must come from Jesus, or thou art undone…… — ( click here to read more )
Voice of the Lord
Devotional for 'Tammuz 04'
One of our greatest desires, as followers of Yeshua, is to see our families come into the Malchut HaShem (Kingdom of God). Whether it is our children, parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, cousins, aunts or uncles, we want to know that their names are written in the Sefer HaChayyim (Book of Life), and that we will all be in eternity together.

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer
Morning / Evening Devotional — June 17
Many of our popular songs and choruses in praise of Christ are hollow and unconvincing. Some are even shocking in their amorous endearments, and strike a reverent soul as being a kind of flattery offered to One with whom neither composer nor singer is acquainted. The whole thing is in the mood of the love ditty, the only difference being the substitution…

The Army of God: A Great Awakening Coming
There is hope. We will rise up. Great awakening is coming. Don't think it, know it. We see great struggle, brokenness, and strife. But we don't look upon the world, we look upon Jesus Christ, our glorious risen savior. Therefore we have great hope.
Debunking a Commonly-Held Belief About Revivals
Did you know that our human nature, our flesh, if you will, does not like to pray? Many churchgoing Christians will fight revival the way a sinner will resist coming to Christ in the first place. We are so independent and rebellious we don't like to get on our knees, let alone on our faces, before God. We will gladly go to almost anything at the church except for prayer meetings.
The Heart of God, the Father
Jesus showed us that God is personal, like a wise, loving, tender, and watchful father. Jesus always used this form of address when praying.
48 Hours in the English City of Gloucester
Gloucester just isn't on the map. Most visitors to this part of England, not far from the border with Wales, instead spend their time in the Cotswolds. They miss out on old pubs, historic buildings and notable churches that line the city's streets.
The Real Father
Being a father isn't always easy, but we have a heavenly Father with unconditional love that helps make it possible.
When Fathers Can Carry Their Children
Fatherhood that shows signs of the love like that of our Heavenly Creator is something to be lauded. It is becoming increasingly difficult to be a father, however, for certain men in our communities. Immigrant fathers, those who are arriving and those who have made a home here, are too often deprived of their ability to care for and provide for their families.
Longing for a Father: A Story About David Cassidy
I recently watched a documentary on the life of David Cassidy titled David Cassidy: The Last Session, and let me tell you, it was just absolutely heartbreaking. To me, the story could be summed up this way: David had a deep longing for a father.
This Could Be the Most Important Thing Men Read Today
As Christians, our bodies are "temples of the Holy Spirit, and God calls on us to offer our bodies as "living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God." Many Christian men are careful to take great care of their bodies, but more men are not careful at all.
Can We Make Sense of the Canaanite Genocide?
Some people will be drawn to the book because they are troubled by the ethics of the genocide of the Canaanites. In the last fifteen years, the problem of biblical violence generally and the ethics of the Canaanite genocide, in particular, have exploded like a brush fire on a tinder-dry field.
