Chaos is no match for our God. From the first pages of the Bible, we read of His power over chaos. When the whole planet was without form and void, God’s spirit brooded over the chaotic waters and overcame them. He brought light into the darkness and land for humans out of the waters. Our God is the Master of …
WHERE IS MY JOY?
In 21st-century life, it can feel increasingly difficult to find a reason for joy. Each day we are confronted with images of rebellion, strife, and turmoil around the world. From all appearances, the world seems to be racing toward self-destruction and ruin. Has there ever been a time like the present? When we read Scripture, however, we quickly discover that …
Honesty Is The Only Policy
The God of the Bible is not hiding from humanity. He isn’t a riddle to be solved or a puzzle to be mastered in order to fix life’s problems. God is living, relational, and purposeful. He created people, understands what it means to be personal, and relates to humanity with intention and care. According to Jesus, God’s nature toward us …
Why Do Christians Pray?
“Prayer” is uniquely human. Whether they realize it or not, everyone prays. Some address a deity, while others simply “wish” or seek “good vibes.” Yet the fact remains: at one time or another, every person prays. Still, remarkably few ever see genuine fruit from this most basic spiritual act. Scripture declares that the God of the Bible answers prayer, unlike …
The Greatest Gift Ever Given
As the Board of Trustees of The Living Truth Fellowship, we want to share a heartfelt message this Christmas season. As the world celebrates the season of giving, it’s fitting that we reflect on the most extraordinary act of love ever shown—the giving of God’s only begotten Son.

What’s So Amazing About Grace?
The word grace is most often linked with Christianity, yet it’s not something we hear much in everyday conversation. You may have encountered familiar definitions like the acronym “God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense,” or other memorable sayings. But as the apostle Paul understood it, grace is far more than a slogan—it’s deep, transformative, and powerful beyond measure. Paul was so …
Three Times a Day: Living in Prayer
In recent months, something has been stirring within the Board of Trustees of The Living Truth Fellowship. Over the past few years, each of us has been drawn into a deeper focus on prayer. It wasn’t planned, and it was never discussed, yet prayer has become the center of our lives. Just a few weeks ago, Marc reminded us that …
God Hears Our Cry
From the blood of righteous Abel in Genesis to the souls of those under the altar in Revelation, the Bible reminds us that God hears the cries of those who call out to Him. Since the fall, humanity has endured countless afflictions and at times unbearable torment from evil, leaving us desperate for help. The good news is that our …
Prophets: Reluctant Servants of God
Throughout the scriptures, especially the Hebrew scriptures, we see a surprising pattern: those whom God called to be prophets often entered that role reluctantly—even resisting at first. Moses argued with God at the burning bush. Jeremiah thought his youth made him unfit. Isaiah confessed he was “a man of unclean lips.” Again and again, prophets expressed why they felt unworthy …
Humility To God Is Service To Humanity
Gary Lee Corns emphasized the importance of humility and service, using Jesus’ example of washing the disciples’ feet to illustrate how true Christianity is expressed. He taught that following Jesus involves loving and serving others, rather than focusing on church growth, programs, or simply accumulating knowledge. Obedience to Christ’s commandments, such as those in the Sermon on the Mount, leads …
