God’s No Dictator, He’ll Only Go Where He’s Invited
By: Sabrina Peters
God’s no dictator, he won’t force his way into any area of your life. He’ll wait until he’s invited.
Better Than Access to the Gold Lounge
By: Stephen McAlpine
I now have access to the coveted Gold Lounge. I’m sitting here in the Gold Lounge at the Auckland airport, heading home from a conference, and it’s all hors d’oeuvres, funky drinks, comfy chairs, free everything, and peacefully quiet. Far from the madding airport crowd.

By: Jennie Scott
There’s a point in every conversation where the other person breaks eye contact, glancing away to look at, well, who knows what. Maybe it’s another person, maybe a painting on the wall, or maybe it’s just to see anything other than my face.

Christianity is so much more than getting people ‘up there’, even if some televangelists would have you think otherwise.

Does God Love Me?
Everyone wants love. But defining what exactly love is is something that no one in all of human history has been able to do.
The God Who Bends Down

The Danger in Saying "God Is Good"
By: Jennie Scott
I need to share this message with you without being critical, accusatory, or dismissive. I’ve wrestled with it myself for some time now, and I pray it’s marinated enough in my soul to move into yours with grace.
