3 Questions for Discerning Your Calling by JORDAN RAYNOR for Relevant Magazine If our work is ever going to be more than a job, we must ask good questions.

Thinking Clearly, Choosing Wisely: The Concept of God By Jack Kerwick for Lew Rockwell During a recent conversation with a friend, a fellow Roman Catholic who not only attends church regularly, but who often serves in Mass as both a reader and a Eucharistic minister, she revealed, to my surprise, that her quest for Truth has so far led her to put into question some of the most fundamental of Christian teachings.

Fasting Luke 5 NKJV 34 And He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them? 35 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days.” 36 Then He spoke a parable to them: “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. 37 And no one puts new…

Save yourself and us!’ (Luke 23:39) Here is a man in the last hours of his life. He is completely lost, he is completely helpless, and he is still angry with God. Suffering doesn’t always make people more tender. It can bring out the worst in us. Sometimes pain intensifies a sinner’s hatred towards God. You can feel this man’s hostility…

8 Ways to Encourage the Flow of the Holy Spirit J. LEE GRADY for Charisma Mag I’m grateful for my friend Quentin Beard, who pastors one of the fastest growing churches in South Dakota—Sioux Falls First Assembly. Because Quentin wants his congregation to experience the Holy Spirit, he scheduled a special weekend of meetings so that people could be baptized in the Holy Spirit, get healing prayer and receive personal prophetic ministry.

Randolph Jason

Winning the Spiritual Victory by Sam Rohrer for Christian Post Note: This article was originally published on the Christian Post website HERE. When we consider the biblical principles tied to Christian living, do we think about spiritual victory? We should. Victory begins when we believe there is indeed an enemy and a battle. Ephesians 6 says we battle not against flesh and blood but principalities and powers in high places; therefore, we are to put on the whole armor of God. Living victoriously as effective salt and light includes identifying the…
