Growing Up to Become a Child by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: June 21, 2012 at 1:49 pm By editorconvergingzone

We have been born to remain a child in the eternity of God’s plan. This is not an excuse to live childishly but to remain childlike in our embracing life, curiosity, possibilities, and what we might learn at any given moment. Childlike people of God are not a people whose development has been stunted, but they are a people who have given themselves a chance to continue to grow in the ways of their God. Being childlike is the remedy... Read more

Focus on Jesus, not on Following the Rules by Jay Becker

Last updated on: June 21, 2012 at 12:26 pm By editorconvergingzone

The Christian life is supposed to be full of freedom and abundance, especially being full with the abundance of God’s love. Yet, so many of us fall into ruts and get caught up in a day to day existence that is full of stress, pressure, and hard work. When we first found Jesus, there was an experience of joy and new found freedom, especially the overwhelming blessing of being fully forgiven and accepted. We became new people in Christ, and there was a... Read more

What’s in Your Hands Today? The Joy of Letting Go by Richard Dahlstrom

Last updated on: June 21, 2012 at 11:07 am By editorconvergingzone

I’m always intrigued by the stories of mountains in the Bible because so much that’s transformative happens among them, or at their summits. Encounters with God in the mountains are nearly always time of transition: From this….to that. We’re between two mountains when Moses says that each one represents a choice that is yet ahead: life or death. Then he shouts “choose life” to the whole nation before dying. We’re on a mountain, with Jesus, when we see him transformed... Read more

Turning Dreams into Reality by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: June 20, 2012 at 12:18 pm By editorconvergingzone

Everybody can dream from time to time but inspired vision can take those dreams and birth them into reality. The visionary can see what is invisible to others, believe what is possible, when others say it is impossible, and have faith in knowing that their very existence is in harmony with what they know they must do. They become empowered to articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and faithfully carry their vision to completion. Courageous vision carriers have the... Read more

God is Always in the Here and Now by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: June 19, 2012 at 11:45 am By editorconvergingzone

The willingness and ability to live fully in the present moment eludes many people. Don’t let your precious and present moments in life get used up by thoughts that aren’t about the here and the now. You have a past but the past is not now. You have a future, but it has not made itself available for you today. Thoughts of “then” and “maybe” will never allow you to experience the peace of God in this very moment. Living... Read more

I Am The Light of the World! by James Ryle

Last updated on: June 18, 2012 at 10:14 am By editorconvergingzone

Jesus said, “I am the Light of the World.” (John 8:12) Our premise for this posting is both simple and profound. In the beginning God said “Let there be light!” From that moment it has been His will that all creation serve as a revelation of His love to those He has created. Paul tells us that God has shown what He is like by everything He has created — “the invisible things of Him are clearly seen in the things that... Read more

Evolution vs. Creation: Students Share Their Thoughts by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: June 18, 2012 at 1:42 am By editorconvergingzone

Higher education has really confused the younger generation. In my “Roving Robert” segment in the development of our first Converging Zone Show at IBC studios in San Diego, I asked a few students their thoughts on creation. This was at a local university in San Diego and is part of my show on creationism with my guest Eric Hovind. We are building content for the Internet Broadcast Company. We appreciate your prayers as we develop these shows. Click here for... Read more

Choosing to Abide by Graham Cooke

Last updated on: June 16, 2012 at 5:20 am By editorconvergingzone

It is God that has established us in Christ. It is our choice to remain where He has so wonderfully placed us. Choosing to “Abide in First Love” was one of the teaching subjects in The Missing Piece conference. It literally means occupying the space between the Father and the Son and learning to abide in love. Abiding is concerned with maintaining a place of intimate connection with the Father and the Son, aided by the loving support and power... Read more

The Attribute of Kindness by Carol Lowe

Last updated on: June 16, 2012 at 5:07 am By editorconvergingzone

An attribute is defined as “something attributed as belonging to a person, thing, group, etc.” It is also defined as a quality, character, characteristic, or property. Have you noticed lately how on edge people are? Even the littlest things seem to upset them and can easily be blown out of proportion. Most of the news today is one tragedy after another, and it goes on and on. So, how are we to respond in the midst of all this? One... Read more
