Every Situation of Life is a Call to Worship by Stephanie Shrager

Every Situation of Life is a Call to Worship Every situation in life that we find ourselves in is a call to worship. In the good times and the bad times, God is still sovereign and we are still called to worship him. Hard times are truly unavoidable – if you haven’t already, there will…

Freedom in Forgiveness – a post from Virginia Allen

“You’re forgiven.” Words that you might think offer comfort and rest but instead would strike anxiety in my heart. I had heard this phase all of my life in church, through my own personal bible study, and in about 98% of worship songs. Personally, I always struggled with understanding and accepting that concept though. Most…

Answering Your Call – a post from Daniel Havener

I hate the word “calling”. When I was a child I was always told to “find my calling”. Missionaries would come to the church and talk about how they had found their calling to ministry. I remember walking past two women one day and hearing one bragging about how her son had finally found his…

What will your response be…. by Gwen Howell

David wrote psalm 63 while he was in the wilderness fleeing from his own son, Absalom, who was trying to kill him. During this time of uncertainty he cried out to God in worship. David isn’t petitioning for a change of circumstance, instead, he is in a state of complete longing. “O God…

Cultivating Change

What goes through your mind during those moments of pain, when on the surface most still looks good and healthy……but deep down inside you know……it’s time to prune. I need to be completely honest. Change is PAINFUL. I struggle with it at every corner. As a husband when I’ve been operating under beliefs that I’ve…

Family Worship

Family Worship by Don Whitney Excerpted and Adapted by Dan Clement Psalm 78 shows how God intends each new generation to come to believe in him: O my people, listen to my instructions. Open your ears to what I am saying, for I will speak to you in a parable. I will teach you…

WORSHIP – IS IT OPTIONAL?

WORSHIP – IS IT OPTIONAL? “Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs.” Psalm 100:1-2 After reading this verse, does it seem like worshipping God is optional? No, it clearly commands worship. Worship isn’t an option – it’s an obligation! Worshipping God…

Tradition of Christianity – a post from Brodie Heginbotham

This is our story I remember the first time I felt that I was in the presence of God. It was incredible, like nothing I’d ever experienced. I felt pulled away from this world and into a new one, all while staying right here, with two feet on the ground. The worries, troubles, and anxieties…

WE are to worship

WE are to worship, by Gwen Howell Growing up in the church, I got to a point where I thought the goal in worship was to have a personal, private moment with God. I would close my eyes and try to step away from anyone that I was standing near so that I could raise…
