We tend to live in a world where everyone reframes from apologizing for their wrongs, but a world where people apologize for being who God has destined one to be. 1. Is it based on one's insecurities? 2. Is it because one suffers from "people pleasing?" Or 3. Is it because one has been threatened to the point that standing up for what is right no longer appears to be an option? No matter the response, the Lord has NOT placed anyone here on earth...

God uses diverse friendships to fulfill his miraculous will in the world. In an increasingly polarized world, our collective ability to navigate friendships with people whose backgrounds, experiences, and views differ from our own has diminished. Along the way, valuing diversity has come to be seen by many Christians as a secular pursuit. However, we love and serve a diverse God (being three unique persons himself) who taught us to love those we...

Why do so many feel discouraged or disconnected with church? Church people aren't perfect. We get that. As Christians we are called to a high standard in terms of communicating with love, respect and honesty. Yet how often do we observe and experience "corrupt communication" that betrays, breaks down and builds walls rather than builds up? What we often do not know is how to plow through our muted messes and hear that cleansing, still small Voice....

Billy "Neal Moore was on Georgia's death-row for sixteen 1⁄2 years, He gave his life to the Lord Jesus Christ on September 6th, 1974, in the county Jail. God spared his life as he came within 7 hours of execution, for the crimes of murder and armed robbery of which he pleads guilty. The Lord Jesus said, you shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. And the gates of righteousness will be open to you, so that you can tell my story...

Cradled in the Arms of Jesus is a self-help book for mental health recovery based on personal testimony.

But with a variety of tools, I have overcome and been successful...

We Carry the Fire describes a social and political spirituality defined by actions that save families, civilization, and the planet. These actions, based on values articulated in religious congregations, result in tangible outcomes in the real world: people live instead of die, democracy is strengthened, nature is restored, and the human spirit flourishes. The author shows how an action-spirituality is different from me- and escapist-spiritualities....

Extreme poverty does not have to exist. When Christians accept that fact and start living accordingly, we will find the solution is already within our reach. Worldwide, 18,000 children die from preventable causes every day. If that statistic leaves you feeling powerless, you are not alone-but you are wrong. If a false sense of powerlessness has lulled you into apathy, it's time to shake off the grogginess of low expectations and get to work. We can...

True Equality Through A Biblical Perspective For many Christians, we read about racial injustice or we see the reports of civil unrest within our nation. But, what can we do about it? How can we be a part of the solution? The answer is actually quite simple: We need to consult the Bible for guidance. Throughout the Scriptures, there are examples of racial and cultural tension. Many of the traditional followers and leaders of Judaism even believed...

In many Bibles, Christ's words are set apart with a red font. It should be obvious, but this distinction helps remind us that when God becomes Man and that Man speaks-it's probably something we cannot afford to miss. So why doesn't the church take these "red letters" to heart? Why aren't we doing more to be Christ's hands and feet to the poor, the disenfranchised, the weary, the ill, the fatherless, the prisoners? It's all there-in red letters. Why...
