Umpleby argues that a “boiling” passion for God is not merely emotionalism but a supernatural gift that requires constant tending through a renewed mind and an active…
Pastor Tim Travis explores the concept of God’s perfect will, contrasting it with a “permissive will” where individuals merely operate under divine sovereignty while following their own desires. By examining the dramatic transformation of King Nebuchadnezzar in the Book of Daniel, Travis illustrates that even the most hardened hearts can be renewed to recognize God’s supreme dominion and intentional plan.…
Drawing a parallel between the memorials of fallen soldiers and the biblical call to remember God’s grace, Adam Umpleby explores the concept of a heart fixed on Christ.

He examines how Hannah transformed her personal anguish over infertility into a profound spiritual victory by choosing to trust God rather than succumbing to the bitterness or “fretting” provoked by her adversary.

Alvino Hernandez explores the theological concept of sanctification, which he defines as being set apart for God’s special use rather than achieving sinless perfection. Hernandez outlines a threefold process involving past justification, present growth, and future glorification, emphasizing that believers are continually renewed by the Holy Spirit day by day. Hernandez introduces the provocative “million dollar question” of when this process…
