Regardless of how far we have gone, how long we have been gone or how much damage we’ve done, the loving Father waits with open arms to welcome his child (prodigal though he or she may be) back home.

The Lord is Peace
No one, on his own, can see God and live. But there is One who intercedes for us. Jesus stands between the holy God and sinful man and by his death bridges the great separation.
Faith Is Not an Heirloom
The fact is that we are not going to get out of this life alive. One day, all too soon, we will be gone. When our children leave our grave and walk to their cars, will they do so in the power of the Spirit or with meaningless religious remnants?
Stake of Commitment
The echoes are just as relevant today as they were the day Joshua gave this address to the leaders of Israel. And the commitment is needed today more than ever.
Life is Uncertain
Without God, life is a rollercoaster of emotions. Without God, unexpected changes will blow us in every direction. Without God, our life is foundationless, like a house built on sand. But a relationship with God through his Son, Jesus Christ changes everything
Sold Out
We are in desperate need of more wholehearted servants like Caleb. We need men and women who are using all their gifts and resources to serve God until he calls them home. There is no such thing as retirement in the service of the Lord.
God Listens
Our prayers are not for the alteration of the sun’s pattern, but they involve God’s miraculous work just the same – salvation of a loved one, physical healing, strength to be a good witness through an illness, the determination to resist a temptation or the restoration of a relationship. And the miracle is that the holy God hears and answers our prayers.
Decisions Require Prayer
How many times do I make decisions without spending time in prayer? How many times do I decide to do or not do something by simply “sampling the provisions” (spreadsheets, test-drives, investment returns, outward appearances, etc.). Decisions require prayer.
Breaking Down the Walls
Do you have any walls that need to be collapsed in your life? It’s very possible you won’t find a successful strategy online or in a bestselling “How To” book. Block out some time, and openly talk to the Lord about all the things keeping you from following hard after him. Believe me, he is an expert at breaking down walls.
Cross the Jordan
It’s time to take possession of the great things that God has for you. What are you waiting for? Get up and get going! There are some great things in store on the other side of the Jordan!
Something To Hold Onto
Do you feel like your life has been shaken? Let me introduce you to the Rock. He is the loving God who desires an eternal relationship with you. He is the gracious God who longs to show you favor. He is the caring God who wants to protect you.
The Path That Leads to Life
What road are you on? Are you headed to the destination of death or life? Have you trusted in Jesus alone as the only One who can place you into a loving, personal, and eternal relationship with God?
