The JOURNEY- Something Powerful James 5:16 MSG …The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with. I suppose I talk much about prayer because how bad I need it and how bad I see other people need it. Prayer brought every person in the Word out of what they were going through to complete victory. There is no substitute for the weapon of prayers power. That’s why James said…

Relationships
Guest Post by Richard Rogers. Richard writes daily posts via his Facebook page. Follow him on Facebook here. Life is all about relationships, the ways in which we connect with each other or how we behave toward or deal with other people. We, as human beings, are social creatures. We need each other! We all require love, encouragement, support, fellowship, and the myriad of other benefits that are possible because of relationships. In fact, our relationships with others help to mold and shape how we view ourselves in relation to the world around us. Attesting to the importance of re
3 Benefits of God’s Waiting Room
We as human beings are likely one of the most impatient creatures of all. As Americans in our culture we are continually being taught that we don’t need to wait. Everything is becoming faster and more instantaneous. Remember film cameras? It’s a lot of fun developing black and white film, watching and waiting as that image comes to life on paper. I remember several years ago, before I acquired my own digital camera, I was at a festival and taking pictures. There was a very cute little boy that had spiked-up hair and I asked to take his picture….

The JOURNEY: Public Opinion James 2:1 MSG — My dear friends, don’t let public opinion influence how you live out our glorious, Christ-oriented faith. There it was, sticking out like a sore thumb. The very words of the scripture were flashing like a neon sign. There will always be some scripture that stands alone in its direction and force for our lives. I think this could be one of those scriptures. James doesn’t even beat around…
The King of Fear in Your Life
Guest Post by Lenny Hall of Sons of Thunder Ministries. Read: 1 Kings 18 The king of fear in your life. We as men often let fear exist in our life. Whether it’s from a pressing decision that has to be made, or to someone’s opinion of us. We are big strong bull of the woods type who keep our fears locked away to never be confronted again. In 1 Kings there are quite a few mentions of a king who ruled with fear. He was a nasty king…
“Man After My Own Heart”
Guest Post by Richard Rogers. Richard writes daily posts via his Facebook page. Follow him on Facebook here. One of the most famous of all figures of the Bible is David, the lowly shepherd boy who slew a Philistine giant and, favored by God, reined for 40 years as king of Israel. Wandering far from perfection, David was an adulterer, a murderer, and a man of war. Despite these human flaws, David had a unique relationship with God. In fact, David held a distinction shared by no other character in the Holy Scriptures. When God withdrew His divine favor from…
