People Rejoice For Righteous Leaders by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: July 15, 2010 at 6:15 pm By Robert Ricciardelli

When the righteous rule people rejoice while servant leaders do all in the realm of freedom. God promotes those who will humble themselves in order to be empowered to lift others up. Those who lead in this way will gain the favor of God and of man, while those who do not, will lose favor and influence, and be replaced by a generation of “do gooders” who will lead towards lasting change for the glory of God.

Hardships Become God’s Provision by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: July 15, 2010 at 1:41 am By Robert Ricciardelli

Sometimes pain is unavoidable, and we do well in avoiding it when we can. When suffering is inevitable, God walks with us and never leaves us. God allows for pain, but also brings healing and growth as we journey through it with Him. Hardships many times become God’s provision for us as He gives us a pathway to greater wisdom and peace, while we continue to trust Him in making all things right. Read more

In Money We Trust by Don Walker

Last updated on: July 14, 2010 at 3:57 pm By editorconvergingzone

Harvard theologian Harvey Cox wrote in the Atlantic Monthly in March of 1999 that in America we now see “The Market as God.” Cox wrote: “The Market is not only around us but inside of us, informing our senses and our feelings. There seems to be nowhere left to flee from its untiring quest. Like the Hound of Heaven, it pursues us home from the mall and into the nursery and the bedroom.” It has been said that the present...

Expectation Beyond Humanity by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: July 13, 2010 at 6:19 pm By Robert Ricciardelli

There is a magnificent duplicity in mankind. Every person falls short of the glory of God as to error is to be human. At the same time, we are created in the image of God which leaves an expectation of living in His nature and likeness. In the dichotomy of our very being, we can choose to follow God who then empowers us to overcome the darkness within, while forgiving our iniquities. Read more

Clones of God’s Heart by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: July 12, 2010 at 6:16 pm By Robert Ricciardelli

Unity is not uniformity. People across the world are embracing, sharing, and living in God’s love and His unique design for them. How boring it would be if we were the same. Divisions occur when people or systems desire clones of themselves, a people that do what they do, and conform to their pleasure. Unity can come however when we choose to become clones of God’s heart and nature while valuing our differences. Read more

Human Loyalty Exposed by Dudley Hall

Last updated on: July 11, 2010 at 12:56 pm By editorconvergingzone

The servant girl at the door said to Peter, “you also are not one of this man’s disciples, are you?” he said, “I am not.” John 18:17 (ESV) It happened so quickly. Things were moving too fast, and they were hard to interpret. Jesus and his disciples were in the peaceful, secure garden of prayer when soldiers appeared. There was shouting and anger. Peter had whacked at one of the servants cutting off an ear. Jesus had replaced it and... Read more

A small group of love empowered and committed people can change the world. It has happened before, and it is in fact the only way it can happen. Governments and churches do not change the world, but people do, and it begins with us. It is never about the numbers but a God who uses us supernaturally to transform the world one life at a time.

Joy Comes Through the Mourning by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: July 9, 2010 at 1:21 pm By Robert Ricciardelli

Christ mourns at injustice, like He mourned over the city of Jerusalem. Jesus mourns over all things that fill the human heart with pain. He grieves with those who grieve and cries with those who cry. Darkness has distorted the face of the earth and the compassion of God overwhelms us. We too will mourn in the experience of seeing as He sees, but rest assured, the light of hope and joy breaks through the mourning. Read more
