Last updated on: December 22, 2011 at 10:54 am By editorconvergingzone

God has always asked people throughout history to give what little they had to Him. God’s way is to use whatever we have, and multiply it back to us once we put it in His hands.

The Treasure Within You by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: December 18, 2011 at 1:05 pm By editorconvergingzone

Christ Himself, the Kingdom of God, is the treasure within us. We carry the power of heaven within and have full access to the power of God for victory over all adversity.

The more you see that treasure in you, the more Christ’s brilliance shines forth in you. And in the midst... Read more

True Religion by Dudley Hall

Last updated on: December 17, 2011 at 5:23 pm By editorconvergingzone

You will seek me and find me. Jeremiah 29:13 (ESV) True religion is to serve God in order to get nothing but more of God. He is the treasure we seek and when we find him we spend the rest of our time discovering what we have found. The false religions of the world encourage worshippers to seek gods for the sake of what the gods can do for them. It is the default mode for this world’s thinking regarding... Read more

“Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it; except the Lord keep the City, the watchman waketh but in vain” (Psalm 127:1). Man is a communal creature by design; we are not built to be alone. While some rare souls seek solace in the caverns of monastic retreat, the overwhelming majority of us are forever compelled toward community. It is how God has wired us.
