In such times a person feels as if God has left him or her alone and God has distanced himself from the individual in this period of liminality. It is considered to be a time of trial and testing which only afterwards is viewed as a period of growth and maturing in Christ. In this book, Daniel McGregor explores the Biblical foundation for this...

Life keeps on flowing regardless if we like the current circumstances of our life or not. When hard times come, we have two choices. We can either go with the flow or we can essentially drown ourselves...

If the future generation of Christians has been fed on milk-soaked Twinkies, Assenting to the Eternal: Kingdom Exchanges Revealed is distinguished as free-range meat with a side of organic carrots and potatoes. It's health-food for the believer's spirit. It's oil for their long-enduring lamps and a blanket of comfort for the cold nights they lie waiting for their Bridegroom. Christ gave everything needed to overcome the world; not by taking us out...

Devotions come in many styles and sizes. Some are like a bucket of cold water thrown at you in your bed, prodding you to wake up, get going, and meet the challenges of the day. Others give you something to think about, and tend to come back to you as you go about your daily activities. A devotion can be long, designed for the person who has an hour or...

Prayer is the one essential of the Christian life. In fact, David Moffett-Moore maintains, it is an essential of life itself, as essential to us as spiritual beings as breathing is to us physically. Prayer can be found in any of our activities. It is not something we need to learn, but something we need to remember from childhood. Yet our prayers can mature, and we can be more aware of the presence of God in every place and every moment. The purpose...

We carry our purses everywhere. We don't leave home without them. They are as diverse and unique as we are. A purse can truly reflect who we are. Is it smooth, black leather or bold pink flowers? Does it hang from our arm or is slung over our back or strapped around our waist? What if we were given a purse by Jesus Himself full of whatever we would need for the day and season of life? How much would it cost? Who could afford it? It's free because...

"There are many countries today where Christians endure persecution on a massive scale. Are we as children of God called to stand and be proactive? Are we not to be involved until we are backed into a corner? Then, are we to be always reactive, never on the offensive but always on the defensive? Are we to look the other way and allow the adversary to make a foothold in the world? How do you understand the Christian life and why? These are questions...
