Three Lessons From Mary by James Ryle

Last updated on: December 25, 2010 at 11:36 pm By editorconvergingzone

Lesson One: Never Overlook the Potential of the Ordinary “Despise not the day of small beginnings.” (Zechariah 4:10, NLT). God always does extraordinary things with ordinary stuff.

One day a young boy showed up at a crowded event to hear a traveling preached talk... Read more

Last updated on: December 24, 2010 at 6:27 pm By Robert Ricciardelli

Jesus was not just a humble person who was birthed into humanity, but he was was preoccupied with the humble of the world.

Seven Special Gifts to Unwrap This Christmas by Lee Grady

Last updated on: December 23, 2010 at 5:23 am By editorconvergingzone

Please don’t let the holidays get so cluttered that you miss the point of the celebration. Christmas is usually cluttered. We’re overbooked with parties, concerts, football games and shopping trips while our houses are jammed with decorations, out-of-town guests and way too much food. Then on Christmas morning, after the presents have been opened, we sweep up the crumpled giftwrap, tinsel, ribbons, bows, pine needles and boxes that are scattered everywhere. As much as I love the joy of this... Read more

Immovable Authentic Servants by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: December 22, 2010 at 10:58 pm By Robert Ricciardelli

The most critical need of the Church at this moment is a people that are free, bold, and immovable from God’s purposes. They will make no decisions out of fear, will not engage for self pleasure, and will not be influenced by the love of publicity or reputation. They are free from the compulsions that control others, and are servants who remain authentic to who they are regardless of the context or audience. Read more

Christmas: An Invitation To Reckless Abandon by Elizabeth G. Wallace

Last updated on: December 22, 2010 at 7:03 pm By editorconvergingzone

For those of us who grew up celebrating the birth of Jesus, the Christmas story can become too familiar. It easily slips from a story of awe to simple facts of history. We rattle off these events, such as Mary gave birth to Jesus and then the shepherds and wise men came to see him, with the same ease that we describe what we did last weekend. When you stop to really consider it, the story of Christmas is... Read more

Significance of Communal Life by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: December 22, 2010 at 7:02 am By Robert Ricciardelli

Anything of spiritual value is not the result of individual accomplishments but birthed from communal life. All the knowledge and wisdom of God has come to us through the ages through prophets of God, Christ Himself, Saints who went before us, and from all who have played roles in the formation of our hearts. True spiritual knowledge belongs to the communion of God’s people and with all glory to God. Read more
