Roberts Quotes for the Week (#31) by Robert Ricciardelli
Last updated on: January 16, 2011 at 4:15 pm By editorconvergingzone
Helping Others Die Well by Robert Ricciardelli One of the greatest gifts we can offer family and friends is to help them die well. They may be ready to go, but we do not want to say goodbye. But there comes a time in which we need to give those we love the permission to return to God, from whom they came. Jesus died saying,”Father, into your hands I commit my Spirit.” With these words on their lips or in... Read more

A Heart Without Idols by Francis Frangipane
Last updated on: January 16, 2011 at 5:36 am By editorconvergingzone
When we first come to Jesus, He accepts us just as we are: problems, sins and all. As our needs are met, however, we gradually discover that God is seeking something from our lives. What He seeks is our worship. But true worship is the consequence, the result, of seeing God as He is. It springs naturally from a soul purified by love; it rises like incense from a heart without idols. The God Whose Name is JealousChrist does not... Read more

Un Corazón Sin Ídolos Por Francis Frangipane
Last updated on: January 16, 2011 at 5:33 am By editorconvergingzone
Cuando venimos a Jesús por primera vez, él nos acepta tal como somos, con nuestros problemas,pecados y todo lo demás. Sin embargo, gradualmente descubrimos que él suple nuestras necesidades, porque busca algo de nuestras vidas. Y lo que busca es nuestra adoración. Pero la verdadera adoración es la consecuencia y el resultado de ver a Dios tal como es, y fluye en forma natural del alma que ha sido purificada por el amor; ella se eleva, de un corazón sin...

Strive For Progress, Not Perfection by Bob Gass
Last updated on: January 15, 2011 at 7:28 pm By editorconvergingzone
“… It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you… ” – Philippians 3:1NIV Have you any idea how often the people you admire got it wrong, half right, almost right, before they got it right? Making mistakes is the unenjoyable, unavoidable part of making progress. That’s why Paul said, ‘… It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you.'(Philippians 3:1 NIV) He understood... Read more

Oh God, please send me money! by Junior deSouza
Last updated on: January 15, 2011 at 7:19 pm By editorconvergingzone
Hello saints, An unusual number of Christians are praying, Oh God, please send me money! This writing is one of several responses coming from the Lord.Love you all, Junior A Subtle Equation Missed: Spiritual does not Equal Successful One of the most significant and confusing discoveries of my Christian life has been this: spiritual does not equal successful. They are associated, but not equivalent. Notice the subtle wording of Scripture. God’s Word does not say the fear of the... Read more

The War Is on for the Millennial Generation by Lee Grady
Last updated on: January 15, 2011 at 7:01 pm By editorconvergingzone
I know the battle I faced as a teenager. Today’s younger generation faces something more challenging. It wasn’t easy for a guy to find pornography when I was a teenager. I remember giving into the temptation to buy a Hustler magazine when I was in high school. Inside the drug store I paced back and forth near the magazine rack for at least half an hour. My palms were sweaty. My heart was racing. I finally walked to the front... Read more

Are You in the Wilderness? by Frank Viola
Last updated on: January 15, 2011 at 3:48 pm By editorconvergingzone
So many Christians I meet today, whether in person, on social networks, or through emails, tell me that they are living in a spiritual wilderness. They feel alone, spiritually isolated, and they don’t have too many Christian friends that they are experiencing a rich and full fellowship in Christ with. Some of them attend a church on Sunday morning, yet still, they are living in the desert and they know it. Some have given up on the traditional form of... Read more

The Heart of the Matter by James Ryle
Last updated on: January 15, 2011 at 2:52 pm By editorconvergingzone
“God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (1 Peter 5:5). When you peel everything else away and get to the bottom of all things – the heart of the matter – you discover at the root of it all in one of two things: Pride or Humility. (fill in the words in your copy of the drawing) Let’s talk about this. Pride at its very essence is a disagreement with God. It is the ultimate act of... Read more

Fusion For A Love Revolution by Robert Ricciardelli
Last updated on: January 15, 2011 at 12:13 am By Robert Ricciardelli
God is love, and it is Love alone that unites, completes, and fulfills all living beings. Love is our created image and therefore Love joins all of us at the deepest core of who we are. Since we were created for Love we need to imagine God’s Love increasing upon the earth until it embraces the totality of God’s creation. Love is the agent of universal fusion between God and man, and brings us all together as one.We need fusion... Read more
