The Divided United States
Contributor: Chad Roberts Do you believe America will face another civil war in our lifetime? I certainly pray not! While I do not believe there will be a war of weapons, make no mistake that there is a civil war of ideologies. I often wonder how...
The Wonder and Worship of Christmas
Contributor: Chad Roberts Can you remember the excitement of announcing a special event? Perhaps it was your engagement, a new birth, or a new job opportunity. Can you remember the kind of thought and preparation you put into making public your exciting...
Joy That Will Never Be Lost
Contributor: Chad Roberts What brings you joy? We all have days that get us down. When I lost eyesight in 2018, it was a most difficult adjustment. To go completely blind at the age of thirty-eight is something I never expected. No doubt, life...

The Aroma of Christ
Contributor: Chad Roberts With less than a week to live, Christ visited friends in Bethany. I cannot imagine the weight and pressure He felt knowing Calvary was near. Of course, Christ had already displayed His power over death by raising one of His best...
God of the New
Contributor: Chad Roberts My best days are when I begin them with God. I try not to face the day until I have been face-to-face with the Lord. I love to wake up early in the mornings to enjoy the stillness and quietness of scripture before the busyness of...
