SnapShots of Grace: Coal Miners, True American Patriots

by Danny Woodall

On July the fourth, marching bands and children waving flags often crowd the streets across the United States. The smell of burgers and hot dogs fill the air. Nighttime fireworks will burst across the sky. For one day, our nation will come together to celebrate our country’s birthday. Coal has been there a part of our history from the beginning.

by Dr. Rebecca Dowden
Shame is not conviction. When the Holy Spirit convicts us, it is done in love and peace. There is no condemnation as the Scripture tells us. Conviction points to our actions and gives us loving correction.

Words Spoken in Secret: The Light of the World

by Candace Simar

My light is the light of the world, the burning heat of the blazing sun, the glorious brightness of the stars, and the mellow depths of the moon. My light surrounds you, cradles you, and holds you. I am the light of this universe, an energy to be reckoned with. Majestic and more majestic.


 

Leigh's Spiritual Garden: Talk Too Much, Listen Little, Anger Much?

by Leigh Moran

Lately, I have tried not to talk as much as I am accustomed to, and I think I am a bit better at listening. Sometimes when we talk too much we give the impression we know more than others. Generally, I feel that that is not the case and some folks are just very talkative.

 


 

Cindy's World Today: Wrong Thinking

by Cindy Buchanan

Believe in the possibilities of what can happen in your life.  Nothing is impossible to the man or woman who conquers their thought life. God is with you. God is for you, and the best news of all: God is working IN you!


Get Real: Appreciation

by Paula Mowery

Are there people in your life whom you only hear from when they want something from you? As soon as the name appears on the caller id, we roll our eyes and proclaim: "Wonder what they want this time?" These same people tend to take but never show any appreciation. Maybe if they did, we would not resent their calls quite as much.



by David Taylor
Greed is destroying us. Poor people become the brainwashed slaves of the rich, whether working in their factories or sacrificing their lives in a war. They believe money will make them happy and without it they will die.

 


 

Good Times

by Sheila Jackson

These are evil times, dark times, uncertain, unstable and truly unpredictable, but these times are also necessary to bring about an everlasting good.

 


 

Word of Encouragement: When I Will See You Face to Face

by Ken Lewis

Don't be discouraged if you don't feel close to Him as you once did. . Hold fast to the glorious promise we have been given that because we know Him, love Him and acknowledge Him as the Lord of our life. It doesn't matter how close or how far we may feel from our Savior, we will one day see Him face to face in all His glory!

The Fight for Our Young Women

by Gina Wyller

While it may not be said out rightly, our society say that women are inferior to men. Young women need to know that women do have value beyond appearance. And when men learn that women are not inferior and do not limit themselves to stereotypical roles, then there is a possibility for change.


The Joy of the Lord

by Stephen Nielsen

When we are full of the Holy Spirit and walk in the Spirit He gives us joy—His joy. And then, in that joy we are made strong. I like to think of this joy in the Lord as living water, bubbling up in me and flowing out of my mouth as praise

 


Truly Expecting Change

by Joshua Mumphrey

When I speak, I speak from personal experiences in my life. The struggle to do what’s right, and the ever nagging instinct to do what’s wrong


 

When Preachers Fall

by James Peter Jandu

It is said that the Church is the only army that executes it’s wounded. Christians can often be ruthless and brutal when dealing individuals who has committed a sin and repented, all in the name of a loving God. Why do we expect leaders to be perfect when we know they cannot be?
