Daily Bread- Belonging June 23, 2018I’d been out late the night before, just as I was every Saturday night. Just twenty years old, I was running from God as fast as I could.

I don’t recall the sermon Dad preached that day, but […]Tim Gustafson
- Fellowship with Jesus June 22, 2018I’ll never forget the time I had the privilege of sitting next to Billy Graham at a dinner.

- Hear Our Prayer June 22, 2018The opening to a prayer written by author Joni Eareckson Tada pulses with praise: “Almighty God, you are our Mighty Fortress, our refuge and the God in whom we place our trust.” In naming God’s attributes, she follows the example of King Solomon in his heartfelt prayer when he dedicated the newly built temple.Amy Boucher Pye
- Proof of Life June 21, 2018Families of kidnap victims often refuse to pay ransom without “proof of life”, evidence such as a phone call or video that shows their loved one is well. True believers in Jesus reveal a different kind of ‘proof of life’—evidence of lives transformed by their new life in Christ.Mike Wittmer
