Destroying people's reputations through gossip is nothing new.  Paul talks about the problem of gossip in the New Testament times.  And gossip is still a problem.  In fact it is and even greater problem because today people can hide behind their social media identities and say whatever they want with little accountability. Today we talk about this problem of gossip and how easy it is for even...

Today is Thanksgiving Day here in Canada so we are talking about being thankful and looking at a new song from Phil Wickham, Worthy of My Song.  This song is much like a psalm of David, in that the first section details the struggles of the writer but the last part is all about victory and worship because of who God is and all he has done for us.  Here is the youtube link to Worthy of My Song.   ...

She lived an amazing life. One of the most significant yet lesser-known events of her life occurred in 1955 when BBC television presented a live telecast from Scotland featuring a young American by the name of Billy Gr...

Throughout the Bible we see God's hand leading and using many people who began as unknown and seemingly insignificant. Then as they obeyed the Lord they could live lives of tremendous influence.  Just think of Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and the disciples as just a few examples. But there were also many people who were in a place of great influence and power who were given opportunities to do...

In the book of Habakkuk we find a conversation between Habakkuk and God.  Habakkuk was questioning God about God's seeming indifference to the problems that the people were facing.  It seemed that God was not answering the prayers of his people at a time when they felt they needed Him the most. Listen to day as we look at the results of that conversation. Originally broadcast May 10, 2021 We...

On Music Monday today, we feature "God Really Loves Us by Dante Bowe and David Crowder.  We have many reminders of God's love for us, but there are times when we can be overwhelmed with life that we can be distracted and we don't allow the power and comfort of that love to help us.  Today's song is a reminder of how powerful God's unfailing love for us is.   Here is the yo...
