Looking at God’s plan of salvation throughout the Old and New Testaments
Salvation through Jesus isn’t limited to modern believers, it’s for all people in all generations! Let's help bridge the gap between the Old and New Testaments by looking at God’s plan of salvation throughout the entire Bible.
Dreams Of Childhood
Years ago, I asked fifth-grade students to prepare a list of questions to ask Jesus if He were to show up in person the following week. I also asked groups of adults to do the same thing.
Let’s take another look at God’s incredible grace and forgiveness
It’s hard to believe that a perfect God would accept us solely on the basis of Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins. Can it really be that easy?
Desert Sand
By Debra Ayis, 20, Nigeria My wrap unfurls around leg and feet As I trampled through the sand Of this merciless desert in Kerith Brook A sand storm is coming from afar Particles whirl around excitedly Wickedly prickling, stinging my skin The wind whistles in my ear Singing a song of gloom Air and sand [...]
Seeds & Soils
If you like growing pumpkins, you have probably heard of Dill’s Atlantic Giant variety of premium pumpkin seeds. Developed on a family farm in Atlantic Canada, the pumpkins grown from these seeds have set records around the world. In 2011, a pumpkin grown in Quebec set a new world record at 1,818.5 pounds (825 kg). That size of pumpkin could yield almost 1,000 pieces of pie!

How do we go about earning our way into God’s favor?
Let's get back to the basics of faith with a story of two very different men who had a meeting with the Lord.
Facing Our Past
Chuck Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship, spent 40 years helping people hear and understand the gospel of Jesus Christ. When he died in April 2012, one newspaper article carried the headline, “Charles Colson, Nixon’s ‘dirty tricks’ man, dies at 80.” It seemed surprising that a man so transformed by faith should be identified with things he did as a politically ruthless presidential aide decades earlier before he knew the Savior.
I’m Invisible
My friend Jane said something at a work meeting and no one responded. So she repeated it and again no one responded; her co-workers just ignored her. She realized that her opinion didn’t matter much. She felt disregarded and invisible. You may know what that’s like as well.
Going Unnoticed
By Alan Humphrey, UK I was never one of the ‘cool’ kids at school. To be honest, I never really wanted to be! I was doing far better academically than I could ever imagine achieving socially. Yes, that’s right – I was a geek. A nerd. A smarty-pants. Or whatever else you might want to [...]
“Gorgeous Inside”
It’s a rather nondescript house that sits on a busy thoroughfare. With no distinctive characteristics, this rather plain home is easy to ignore. But as I drove past it the other day, I noticed a “For Sale” sign in the yard. Attached to the sign was a smaller notice that happily announced: “I’m gorgeous inside.” While I’m not in the market for a new house, that sign intrigued me. What could make this otherwise forgettable house gorgeous inside?

Let’s get back to the core message of the gospel
God has promised to forgive our sins through Jesus, and nothing can be added, or subtracted from that radical truth.

When someone has hurt us, it isn’t always easy to forgive. And yet God extends His grace and mercy to us every single day.
8 Things You Should Know About Francis Schaeffer
By Sean Tong, UK Two years ago I set off one Sunday from my new home in York, England. I remember it well as I was being slashed furiously by wind and rain as it cut at my ineptitude to buy a new umbrella. Rain-soaked and dripping like a drowned rat, I walked in through [...]
