Saying What Hurts When God Is in the Room
by Ministry Support on January 25th, 2026
“Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us.” - Psalm 62:8 Some people learn early to clean up their prayers. You thank God. You stay polite.

Pain gets translated into something safer, as if God can only handle the filtered version o... Read More

God Is Closer Than You Think
by Delman Coates on March 20th, 2025
"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." - Psalm 46:1 There is something powerful about the way the Psalmist describes God. He does not just say God is present. He says God is very present. That means the more trouble you face, the more present He becomes. He does not back away when things get harder. He draws even closer. People are not always like that. Some will support... Read More

The Calvary
by Ministry Support on August 20th, 2022
“God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.” - Psalm 46:1 One of the genres of television shows that was popular when I was a child was Westerns. Truthfully, I came up at the end of the era of Westerns, but I remember them because my father watched them.
