Making an impact Rodney, a dad in Florida was introduced to From Faith to Faith material on a trip here to the Promise Keepers weekend conference last summer. He traveled a long way, probably as far as most that were in attendance. He came by the Abiding Fathers’ booth and got the book and study guide. About a month […]
The joy of the Lord Nehemiah had led the exiles back to Jerusalem to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. They had faced much opposition, but God prevailed in every circumstance. Now, Ezra the priest has brought forward the Book of the Law as provided by Moses years earlier. He read it to the people who […]

I have the joy of working out at the Aerobics Center. Around twenty percent of those present are utilizing a trainer. Some need them a way a lot […]
Connected What a vivid image of our relationship with Christ. Plus the potential for results in it. And, of course, the negative consequences apart from him.

God’s plan In the beginning God…created everything necessary for his people to prosper. He walked with Adam and Eve and communed with them.
