"Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?" - Matthew 7:3 It’s easy to look at the lives of others and think we know better. We can be quick to judge the misfortunes and struggles of those around us, assuming that their circumstances are a result of poor decisions, or worse, that they somehow deserved it. This kind of thinking isn... Read More

Are You Too Content?
by Delman Coates on November 3rd, 2024

But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 3:13-14 Have you found yourself in the same spot today that you were in this time last year? Is there an area of your life where you’ve felt stuck, wher... Read More

by Delman Coates on September 16th, 2024
“As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you.” - Joshua 1:5 Promises are powerful, but they can also be fragile.

But God isn’t like that. When He makes a promise, you ca... Read More

God Wants Your Commitment
by No Limits on September 18th, 2021
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” – Romans 3:23 You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be committed. God is big enough, God is good enough, and God is great enough to handle your imperfections. God used Abraham even though he lied about Sarah. God used Noah even though he got drunk. God used David even though he took another man’s wife. Yet what makes these characte... Read More

“That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers” - Psalms 1:3 The principal purpose for a tree is that it may bring forth fruit. In the same way, the presence of the Holy Spirit found in us should lead to Christlike virtues. This is a comparison we see in Matthew 21:18-19 where Jesus says, “In the ... Read More

God’s Approval Over Man’s Approval
by Ministry Support on November 29th, 2020
For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ. – Galatians 1:10 It’s one thing to say that we should be open to God speaking and moving in unorthodox ways, but it’s another thing to live it. And Hosea, the prophet of God, had to be embarrassed when his relationship and marriage fell outsi... Read More
