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. The true message of Christmas is not wrapped in sentimentality, but in …
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 …
God’s Wisdom Vs. Human Reason
Our human existence can be summed up in a few simple truths. We are made in the image of God. We have reasoning abilities far beyond any other creature on the planet. And unlike animals, we can make choices that shape our future. Every day, we make countless decisions—what time to get up, when and what to eat, which activities …
Remembering Your Past
Our culture is filled with ideas about how to succeed in life. We set goals, make plans, seek inspiration, and practice visualization—all in an effort to convince ourselves that we can make an uncertain future certain. Yet, deep down, we know that the future is anything but fixed. In living this way, are we, like Adam and Eve, trying to …
