"Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another...even as Christ forgave you." (Colossians 3:12-13)

Having a home filled with peace and joy and tender mercies is a like a piece of heaven on earth.  We all have experienced moments of this, or hopefully will soon experience the peace of God in our lives and homes. Sometimes it is so difficult to bring the piece of heaven to those that are closest in proximity to one another. There are financial pressures and time pressures and the next thing you know, not only is heavenly bliss so far away, but harsh attitudes and words now resemble a place tremendously south of heavenly borders.

What is the cause of the mess that can occur to disrupt a loving family?

The truth is that there is an opponent, and He realizes the power of unity sometimes more than we do. . . . Read More ... >>>

For in Christ, neither our most conscientious religion nor disregard of religion amounts to anything. What matters is something far more interior (a true matter of the heart): faith expressed in love.-Galatians 5:6, The Message

God has made numerous promises regarding the power of faith. Faith can move mountains. Faith can heal diseases. Faith can receive answers to prayers. Nothing is impossible with faith. Yet, many know the power of faith and still are not seeing many positive results in terms of the "quality of their relationships”

I have a friend who fasted for 27 days wanting the supernatural power of God, and at the end, all he got was skinny. But over that incident and many years of searching, it came down to the revelation that miraculous faith is birthed through supernatural agape love. James says faith without works is dead, and equally, faith without love is dead (James 2:20).

Below are some key points to love and relationships in the Kingdom: . . . Read More ... >>>

The definition of focus according to the dictionary:

A center of interest or activity.  Close or narrow attention.  Concentration.  To direct toward a particular point or purpose.

By Graham Cooke www.outlawedwonderings.com

By Bob Mumford www.lifechangers.org

Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love.”

Only the eternal, uncreated, omnipotent and omniscient God has the capacity and willingness to declare a thing to be what it is years before it has even come into being. The Seed is God’s inheritance in the form of the prophetic perfect. God speaks of the future as if it were already in the present and declares something complete because it is anchored in the certainty of God’s intention to bring it to fulfillment. . . .

WHERE HAVE ALL THE PEOPLE OF INTEGRITY GONE?
You can hear folks saying this everywhere as the world spins and gasps in
shock over even the pilfering of aid sent to earthquake damaged countries!
Who would ever believe that we could be "duped" by a few high level
officials?
How does this happen and - why didn't anybody warn us or...
...do something?!!!

AND!

Just listen to the lips of current politicians flapping in the breeze and you
will hear more deceit and bloated empty promises spewing out like rapid
machine gun fire! Absolutely nauseating! . . . Read More ... >>>

What The Young Leaders of This Next Generation Need.

I was able to spend a weekend recently with a group of 92 men of valor. Their ages ranged from about 18- 70, and they represented more than 10 nations. It was a safe environment for all to come together in a deep relational way to discuss the issues of today, the church of today, and the direction we need to be moving towards for tomorrow.

I particularly took notice of the leaders in the generation that is coming up after me. They are passionate, and they are committed to living a life for God’s glory. They are radically in love with Jesus, and just as radical about changing the impotent ways of what they perceive about today’s Christianity. They want to be a part of birthing real communities that increasingly look more like family, and less like . . . Read More ... >>>

All glory onto the one and only living God, for His Word and teaching.

By Carter Conlon

The term “wilderness experience” rarely, if ever, means a time or place of leisure. A wilderness certainly is no oasis. In fact, by definition it is a remote environment devoid of all outward appeal, hope or comfort. It is a hostile place where few would willingly go. Most of us actually would resist going into a wilderness, yet that is exactly where God sent His Son.
