Relationships: Before You Throw in the Towel

Last updated on: February 9, 2018 at 3:56 pm By MaryJo Petersen Castro

When marriage, family, or a friendship gets difficult or messy, it’s tempting to think about giving up on the person you’re struggling with. Sometimes we get frustrated when it seems like nothing is going to change, and throwing in the towel seems like the best solution to the problem. It could be the easiest solution and might be the shortest distance to relief. But, it’s not always the direction God wants us to take. There are circumstances where breaking off... Read more

Four Ways to Experiencing Knowledge

Last updated on: February 6, 2018 at 3:32 pm By Ann White

“An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.” Proverbs 18:15 (ESV) Just like we exercise our bodies to stay fit — it’s important to exercise our brains by seeking knowledge and applying it to our lives. When we study the word knowledge in Scripture, we find its root-word, yādaʿ, to know, occurs 944 times in the Bible.[1]The word “knowledge” is found no less than 156 times in the New and Old Testaments and refers to a...

35 Reason to Go to Church

Last updated on: February 3, 2018 at 1:25 pm By MaryJo Petersen Castro

“… not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” Hebrews 10:25 Many of us have numerous reasons why we don’t go to church or don’t go weekly. A few times I have slept in and had my coffee in front of my laptop watching online church. But for me, online church lacks many of the reasons listed below. It leaves me feeling a bit... Read more

Pass It On

Last updated on: January 30, 2018 at 1:38 pm By Ann White

When you’ve learned something you are excited about — you talk about it. When you discover a better way of doing things — you show others. And when you experience a life change — you can’t wait to share it with others in hopes they will experience a life change too. So, how often are you sharing the life-saving, life-changing gospel of Christ with others? Our primary biblical command in Matthew 28:19 is to go and make disciples of all... Read more

Tapestry of Our Life

Last updated on: January 19, 2018 at 3:57 pm By Kathy Sherwin

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:13,14 As a teenage girl, I loved to play the piano and sing songs from Carole King’s Tapestry album. I dreamed of being the American Idol of 1979, albeit far more of a dream than a realistic option. My parents and siblings were serenaded (and were, very often, my... Read more

Free Falling Faith

Last updated on: January 12, 2018 at 10:53 am By MaryJo Petersen Castro

One bright day, I was casually sitting in an outdoor dining area when I noticed a cloud, it was quickly moving across the sky and it drew everyone’s attention. This was no ordinary cloud. The cloud was clearly outlined- it was Jesus sitting on His throne. The cloud was mosaic in design and radiated brilliant colors of fire. I was astounded by the beauty of it. But as the cloud came closer, the wind picked up and suddenly I was... Read more
