When Trust is Established by Francis Frangipane

Last updated on: May 1, 2012 at 4:24 pm By editorconvergingzone

(En Español) Wounded in Pursuit of Oneness The Bible says, “Pursue peace with all men.” (Heb. 12/14). Pursue means we aggressively take the initiative to make things right. It means we act on behalf of Heaven rather than allow another’s anger to serve the purpose of hell. However, we must be realistic. When we reach out to a deeply offended person, they will likely be repulsed by our first efforts. Scripture tells us, “A brother offended is harder to be... Read more

God’s Answer to Racial Profiling by Lee Grady

Last updated on: May 1, 2012 at 12:00 pm By editorconvergingzone

Trayvon Martin was not a criminal because he was black and wearing a hoodie. And I’m not a racist because I’m white. We will have to wait months to find out how jurors in Florida will rule in the Trayvon Martin case. Did his accused assailant, George Zimmerman, act in self-defense when he shot the unarmed boy? Or did Zimmerman kill Martin because he just assumed any young black man walking through a gated neighborhood wearing a hoodie is a... Read more

Dying For Something Greater by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: May 1, 2012 at 3:10 am By Robert Ricciardelli

We can live for nothing or die for something more. People of faith have chosen to die in order to truly live for something greater than themselves. Dying is not easy and self does not like it too much. Jesus said, “If you want to find your life, you must lose it.” He must increase and we must decrease for real power and life to be manifested. This is a tremendous surrendering to our Creator and His plan for us.... Read more

Living Epistles Bring Forth the Word in Power by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: April 30, 2012 at 11:17 am By editorconvergingzone

To be biblical is not simply quoting the Bible. It is not about to quoting Abraham or Moses, but it is to live in the same faith that they lived. We do not just quote what Jesus said, but we are to live as Jesus lived. We are to be in harmony with the same Wisdom of Jesus. We are called to be Living Epistles who experience the Living God in everyday life. Heart knowledge and intimacy with God should... Read more

The Empire Has No Clothes by Richard Dahlstrom

Last updated on: April 27, 2012 at 11:37 am By editorconvergingzone

The Empire Has No Clothes – raw truth precedes real hope – Pick your emperor: It’s the same empire The losses and damages characteristic of our present economy cannot be stopped, let alone restored, by “liberal” or “conservative” tweakings of corporate industrialism, against which the ancient imperatives of good care, homemaking, and frugality can have no standing. – Wendell Berry Now that Mitt Romney has effectively vanquished all other contenders, the real election posturing can begin, and we all know it...

I Only Know What I Know! by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: April 24, 2012 at 1:48 pm By editorconvergingzone

It is humbling to realize how limited my understanding really is at any given moment in time. The more I come to know the more I realize how much I have to yet to know. I have realized, “I know what I know, I know what I don’t know, but I don’t know what I do not know.” Okay, now that is a mouthful, so let me break it down. I know what I know: I know that there is... Read more

How to Move God’s Heart by Hank Kunneman

Last updated on: April 23, 2012 at 1:31 pm By editorconvergingzone

One the greatest sins in the church is not necessarily gossip, strife, addictions, adultery, or fornication—even though all these things are sin. What I believe is the greatest sin today, especially in America, is the sin of prayerlessness or leaving God alone We can easily become caught in the trap where our only consistent time of prayer is offered before each meal and that’s about it. You know what I mean by the meal prayers, don’t you? “God is good; God is... Read more

Choosing With Intention by Graham Cooke

Last updated on: April 22, 2012 at 12:07 pm By editorconvergingzone

Everything about the Christ life within is full of intention. The purpose of God is to bring many sons into glory. We are to be made in His image. We are overcomers learning to become more than conquerors. We are citizens of Heaven here on earth. We are the Bride of Christ; the brother of Jesus; sons of God; servants of the Lord; good soldiers and heirs of His Presence. Everything in the Kingdom is connected to an Intentional Identity....

The Only Essence for Life by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: April 21, 2012 at 4:00 pm By editorconvergingzone

We often exist on the peripherals of life, the circumference of real truth and life. We become confused as to what the essence of God and freedom really are, and end up holding on to the superficial and claiming it as substance. The absolutes and the true Center seems to be crumbling as reality in our lives. We live on the the fleshly edges for so long that it starts feeling like the only life available, never able to touch... Read more

“Being Love” is the Catalyst for Miracles by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: April 18, 2012 at 12:55 pm By editorconvergingzone

We will never be able to truly love unless we ourselves are in love with the Divine that first loved us. If God is love, then to be in love with God is to be in love with Love. From this very foundation, the power of God’s love can flow out from our very being. By “being” in this amazing love, we become a catalyst for miracles to manifest from our lives. “Being love” goes beyond the giving or taking... Read more
