A New Twist On Pruning

Here's a twist on pruning: when our Father God prunes us back - by His Word, by His Spirit, by the circumstances and people He puts in our lives - it not only causes growth and fruit in us, but greatly affects the growth in those around us.
James 3

James 3: A Story

From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.

A Purposeful Life

In Christ we are saved through His mercy. SCH Contributor Diane Paddison highlights this principle in a story of a man who was kidnapped by rebel soldiers in Southern Sudan. After his subsequent escape, and struggle to survive, he said simply: "I survived because God says I matter."

Can I Pray For You?

Diane Paddison needed the kind of rest that only God can provide. And He did provide - in the form of a stranger who asked "Can I pray for you?" Because of that, Diane's heart was changed and soul refreshed. May you, as well, speak those bold words.
