The transforming power of God's grace is a radical change in nature, condition, and character, as seen in the life of the Apostle Paul, who was transformed from a sinner to a saint through faith in Jesus Christ.

Finding True Hope Beyond the Prosperity Gospel with John Cortines

Scripture calls us to anchor our hope in Christ, trusting him in both abundance and hardship, rather than measuring God's love by our circumstances. The prosperity gospel distorts biblical truth, making health and wealth a measuring stick for spiritual success. Faithful believers have walked through both abundance and hardship, and scripture shows us that faithful giving is an act of worship and thankfulness to God, not a formula to get results in our life.

Caregiving, Alignment and Endurance

Caregivers often struggle with the emotional weight of their responsibilities, but it's essential to prioritize their own well-being and seek support. A key concept in caregiving is alignment, not just physical but also emotional and spiritual. It's about recognizing the limitations and needs of both the caregiver and the care recipient, and making intentional decisions to ensure a sustainable and healthy caregiving journey. This requires patience, competence, and a willingness to adapt and learn, just like the process of prosthetic limb alignment. By embracing this mindset, caregivers can find hope and resilience in the midst of challenging circumstances, and ultimately, achieve a more balanced and fulfilling life. [... more]

Spending Decisions Are Spiritual Decisions with Dr. Kelly Rush

Financial decisions are spiritual decisions, and the story of Jonah illustrates this truth. Jonah's actions show that money and motives move in the same direction, revealing the spiritual dimension of spending. When our hearts move off course, our spending decisions will financially do the same, and poor stewardship can have ripple effects on others. Genuine repentance can redirect spending away from what harms and toward what honors God, and faithful follow-through looks like having a budget and sticking to it, keeping commitments to generosity, and giving as a form of worship.
