Testimony of God's Extraordinary Provision
I felt this testimony from Stairway Church in Whitehorse, Australia was a good follow-up to the previous post on the Blessed Child. A member of the church approached a man on the streets who just had been beat up and his wallet stolen. The rest of the story is God takes over. This is an encouraging story, but I would love to hear your thoughts.

Down In Your Heart There is a Temple
The access point to knowing God is through our hearts. He looks for intimate lovers and friends. He will give us as much of His heart as we give Him ours.
Are Promises to Follow God Good or Bad?
Why are promises to God common among Christians? Because we are afraid of sin, so we create rules to prove to ourselves that we are worthy of His sacrifice.
The Problem with Promises
Promises to ourselves are designed to distance us from our pain, but what they really accomplish is to distance us from God and the life He has for us.
