God wants to perform miracles in our lives, but if we're not standing in faith, we can actually miss out on His miraculous blessings!

From Kim's album "Still Believe", this is an energetic song called "Alive". The song starts out a little bit slowly, but hang in there, when the drums kick in the song really takes off. Lots of energy here, on an energetic topic, being alive in Christ.

The DeGarmo's lost their little boy - Azaiah Stone - to SIDS. While the family worshiped, a ministry was born - HE LIVES FOR KIDS.

I ran across this touching poem a few years ago, written by a woman named Leanne Freiberg. One of my personal defects of character is my tendency to judge other people based on so little, e.g., appearance or behavior. This poem reminds me how much I am cheating myself out of by doing that. And how much I am cheating the other people, too. A relationship that may blossom never even gets off the ground.

With Leanne's permission I made this little video to go with the poem. The music in the background is David Osborne playing "Just As I Am".

Dr. James Dobson gives great insight on the passing of time in our lives and how we must remain inspired to stay healthy and vibrant.

Most of us have thought at one time or another that we don't deserve God's love. But Romans 5:8 says otherwise - "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." This Plumb song from her 2013 album "Need You Now" says "I don't deserve Your love, but You give it to me anyway." Hallelujah for that!

Written by Plumb, Matt Bronleewe, and Paul Van Dyk.

The Bible isn’t a book for spectators. God doesn’t want us to just stare at the words on the page. He wants us to do what it says.

In our society, it seems like no one has enough time. At least, that’s the main reason people say they don’t study the Bible. But if you pay attention, you probably have more time than you realize.

Getting started with Bible study can seem like finding your way through an unfamiliar city. The landmarks don’t make sense. The roads seem strange. But don’t let that discourage you. The journey is worth it.
[Intro]
Before you take the first step, pray. Ask God to make His Word clear to you. You need the Holy Spirit to guide you, to be your Bible-reading GPS. He opens the meaning of Scripture so that it can transform us.
At some point during the journey, you’re going to feel discouraged. But Bible study isn’t something you finish; it’s a lifelong thing. The more you travel, the more you’ll realize the connections between verses and ideas. So, just keep walking.
As you go, be sure to take notes. They’ll act like snapshots of where you’ve been and how far God’s brought you. The My Bible page on our site makes it easy.
But remember: it’s not just about reading. Your goal isn’t to accumulate knowledge. It’s to take action on what you learn. Scripture is alive and cuts deep to change who we are. You’ll be blown away by what it can do.

This video jam titled "Pure Love for Christ" comes from a sermon preached by Dr. Vincent G. Artese titled "Pure Love for Christ".

Here is a sermon jam with audio excerpts of a sermon set to music. It explains both the benefits and the responsibilities that a true son or daughter of God is given through Christ. All must remember that if one enters into a relationship with God through Christ they have entered into the New Covenant. A covenant is an agreement between two parties and there are two parts of the agreement, two parts that must be kept. This sermon jam explains both sides of this covenant. Listen to it, reflect on it, and share it with others. We pray it is a blessing.
