Ask For His Best Road by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: September 23, 2010 at 2:31 pm   By Robert Ricciardelli

I have found it best not to ask for an easier road but to ask for a strength that allows me to finish the race well. God in His wisdom has chosen to allow difficulty to invade my path, and then work within me to empower me to overcome every obstacle I face. I grow strong in rising above all challenges, I get the victory as I endure with Him and overcome, and God gets the glory because without Him... Read more

A Warning Shot? by David VanCronkhite

Last updated on: September 23, 2010 at 3:01 am   By editorconvergingzone

Many of you have already read and digested the interview between prominent author Anne Rice and Christianity Today published last month. If you have not, I highly encourage you to read it. Rice is a woman of words who can express the hearts of so many who just can’t get the words out. She appears to have no cause or agenda to promote, just a telling of her personal story and continuing journey of faith. Her story, though, is a... Read more

Rewards of Painful Endurance by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: September 22, 2010 at 11:33 pm   By Robert Ricciardelli

God often allows for pain to forge purpose filled resolve in us. The testing of our faith develops perseverance, and perseverance works in us to make us more mature and complete in Him. We may endure painfully, but we become thankful for the endurance that brings us to greater fullness in Him. Let God reveal to you the secret things He has planned for you as a result of the crisis you are in or have come through. Read more

Ámame Donde Estas por Francis Frangipane

Last updated on: September 22, 2010 at 9:53 pm   By editorconvergingzone

He descubierto que, al buscar a Dios, nuestr0s periodos  más difíciles pueden  transformarse en  maravillosos irrumpimientos hacia el amor de Dios. Para mí,  una de esas estaciones ocurrió durante los años 1979 a 1981. La asociación de Iglesias con la cual yo estaba alineado había caído bajo engaño espiritual. No solamente  sus doctrinas medulares estaban más y más sembradas con influencias de la Nueva Era, sino que la inmoralidad había entrado sigilosamente, y líderes claves comenzaron a dejar a sus... Read more

Love Me Where You’re At by Francis Frangipane

Last updated on: September 22, 2010 at 9:49 pm   By editorconvergingzone

I have discovered that, as we seek the Lord, our most difficult periods can be transformed into wonderful breakthroughs into God’s love. For me, one such season occurred during the years 1979 to1981. The association of churches with which I was aligned had fallen under spiritual deception. Not only were its core doctrines increasingly seeded with New Age influences, but immorality crept in, and key leaders began leaving their wives for other women. I could no longer remain silent. As... Read more

“Unbridled” by John L. Moore

Last updated on: September 22, 2010 at 3:23 pm   By editorconvergingzone

“If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless.”  James 1:26 “Now if we put the bits into the horses’ mouths so that they may obey us, we direct their entire body as well.”    James 3:3. ________________________________________________________________ I make no claims of being a master horseman, just a fair-to-middlin’ badlands cowboy, but I know some real horsemen and I disagree with them somewhat on... Read more

Monkey Soup, Frog Smoothies and the Missionary Spirit by Lee Grady

Last updated on: September 22, 2010 at 2:14 pm   By editorconvergingzone

The strange foods I’ve eaten on the mission field remind me that Jesus crosses all cultural barriers. Would you drink a frog smoothie? Would you eat a piping hot bowl of monkey stew with a side of fried ants? I didn’t try these popular delicacies when I was in Peru last week. I stuck with the grilled cuy, better known as guinea pig. It is actually quite tasty, as long as you don’t think about the fact that you are... Read more

Labor Produced Harvest by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: September 21, 2010 at 5:00 pm   By Robert Ricciardelli

The miracle of growth that comes from the seeds of your life to the harvest that God desires is not produced through dreams or affirmations. Dreaming, writing, planning, and affirmations are all very important, but until you do the work necessary, the harvest will remain in a dream and seed state. Abundant fruits in the harvest of life comes only from doing the work the Lord has set before you.  Read more

Submitting Our Temperaments by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: September 20, 2010 at 12:35 pm   By Robert Ricciardelli

Our temperaments are often fixtures of our personalities, but how we handle our temperaments on a daily basis can vary greatly. We gradually learn to put our temperaments towards serving the Lord and others as we submit ourselves more fully to God. God can then lead us to show great zeal for the Kingdom, be at peace during conflict, silent in worship, or creatively sharing His passion with others. Read more
