Last updated on: February 20, 2012 at 7:14 pm By editorconvergingzone

One of the most unpalatable truths that we may ever have to face is the fact that the choices we make and sometimes do not make have a very powerful impact on our life. Choices are always about power. Failure to make the right choice or even not to exercise our options may give that power to someone or something else and leave us feeling weak and ineffective. Choosing the correct decision will open us up to other options of... Read more

You can create great victories through harmonious collaboration with others.

Don’t Worry by Alan Smith

Last updated on: February 19, 2012 at 8:15 am By editorconvergingzone

Phil 4:6-7: Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus. (TLB) Do you worry; or have you ever worried? Of course you have, and maybe you still do....

Where a Desolate Soul Finds God by Francis Frangipane

Last updated on: February 19, 2012 at 12:05 am By editorconvergingzone

(En Español) In spite of breakthroughs in several regions, many Christians have grown weary. Their love is growing cold; their passions, lukewarm. The prophet Daniel warned of a time when the enemy would “…wear down the saints of the Highest One” (Dan. 7:25). To emerge victorious in this day, we must climb into the reality given to us by God in Psalm 91. There is a place of replenishing life, a fountain of light, wherein we can abide. The Bible...

Last updated on: February 18, 2012 at 8:04 pm By editorconvergingzone

Something startling is happening in American religion: We are witnessing the end of church or, at the very least, the end of conventional church. The United States is fast-becoming a society where Christianity is being reorganized after religion. In recent decades, untold numbers of people have left the Roman Catholic Church. In a 2008 survey, Pew research found that one in 10 Americans now considers themselves an ex-Catholic. The situation is so dire that the church launched a PR campaign... Read more
