Beloved Dust

beloved-dustBeloved Dust
By Jamin Goggin and Kyle Strobel

We were formed from the dust, but we were made for life with God. We often accept less.  We make promises and set goals to try and grow, but holiness seems impossible.  But the Christian life is not about looking or feeling like a Christian.  It’s about abiding in God.

If communion with God is your goal, self-help strategies and personal resolutions will fail you. But Jesus Christ will not.   More

10:10 Life To The Fullest

10-10-life-to-the-fullest10:10 Life To The Fullest
By Daniel Hill

We all feel it at one time or another – that there is something profoundly and dreadfully missing in our lives.  We look to the world and find no satisfaction.  We look within and yet come up empty.  We look to religion, and still we cannot fill the void.

Jesus said that he came that we might have life. Abundant life.  Life to the full.  So why do even fervent followers of Jesus sense that some vital and fundamental part of life is elusive? Was it just an empty promise?    More

Ordinary

By Tony Merida

What if the path toward an extraordinary life is becoming more ordinary?

Ordinary is not a call to be more radical.  If anything, it is a call to the contrary.  The kingdom of God isn’t coming with light shows, and shock and awe, but with lowly acts of service.  Tony Merida wants to push back against sensationalism and “rock star Christianity,” and help people understand More
