2. Spiritual Buoys

By Pamela A. Paige I went by the beach today. I allowed myself time to consider life with all of its turmoil and intricate relationships. As I sat looking out on the waters, I saw something white bouncing in the water. It was not a bird, but something else. In fact, as I looked closer, I saw five or six of these “things” bouncing in the waters. I asked my friend what they were. He had noticed them as well. We... read more

3. Have You Neglected This Righteous Cause Of God?

By David Hopkins As believers, we have a responsibility to care for those who have been left without a bread winner, which begins with the responsibility of caring for our own family and relatives who may be in distress. 1 Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

5. How To Tinker With Social Security

By Paul Griffitts The rhetoric about "tinkering" with Social Security in the name of setting aside some of the contributions to private investments is only a play on people who are under forty to gain their support.

Today as someone ove... read more

6. God’s Glory is Real Even When We Don’t See It

By Dan Brown God’s glory is real even when we don’t see it. On gray, gloomy, rainy days, high above the overcast sky, the sun continues to shine.

If we think “above the clouds,” we can have hope knowing that God is still there. Just as gray, gloomy, overca... read more

7. How to Hear from God
