Each moment spend crafting is a chance to share God’s love with others, to offer something that came from our hearts and hands as a way to bless those around us.
Our hearts were moved to stand at the river, boots on the ground, and spend a short couple of weeks with the Ukrainians who continue to suffer the loss of so much.
Hung Le, an immigrant to the U.S. from Vietnam, lost his faith in God. But amid all of his difficult experiences, he came to the realization that God still loved him
We were made to be images of God. And this is the primary role of parents. To pour in and summon out the truth of this identity in the emerging generation.
It’s hard to know which organizations to trust today, but you can tell much about an organization that pours into you when it has nothing to gain. The Solomon Foundation was encouraging me and mentoring me long before I worked for a church associated with their network of churches.
The holidays are marked by family reunions, sparkling displays, presents under the tree, and precious childhood memories. For the Christian, however, it is also a time to reflect upon the greatest gift ever given to man, namely God’s gift of his Son to mankind.

Like the wisemen, people around the world are experiencing unexpected events. Maybe you can be a partner in evangelism with a global work that will meet their needs and open the door for them to be drawn to the Christ child.
Independent Christian churches and churches of Christ have a record of missionary activity and advocacy that stretches back to the earliest chapters of Restoration history. Our many contemporary missions organizations, programs, and conferences show that this commitment to making disciples around the globe is still a key characteristic of our movement.

The dress code of Heaven for the wedding feast of the Lamb is good deeds. The church (bride) makes herself ready for that feast by righteous acts. John gave this interpretation of the fine linen (19:8).
