Pray Without Ceasing
Dr. Joe’s life reflected the meaning of “pray without ceasing”—his faith, kindness, and constant gratitude made him truly irreplaceable. Through loss and memories, we discover God’s calling to rejoice always, pray in every moment, and give thanks in all things. In living and honoring His Word, we find the assurance that among God’s children, there are no goodbyes, only “I’ll see you later.”

Discerning God's Will: Romans 12 Reflections
Struggling to discern God's will? Romans 12 reveals that His will is good, acceptable, and perfect—but which target are we aiming for?

Is The Bible True? 2025

Fellowship of the Unashamed
Although the letter's author and origin are questioned, its impact is not. This letter has Holy Spirit power. It may not transform a bench-warming, lukewarm Christian into a later-day D.L.
