Prayer @ Crosspoint

As you look at the New Testament, prayer was a foundation in the life of the church.  Acts 2:42:  They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. You also see the Bible talk about prayer among the family of God in James 5:16, Ephesians 6:18, and 1 […]

Identity Crisis

From Kevin Funk… We as a family have been very busy lately.  For the Funk’s, this is our busiest time of year.  I wish I could say this is not the norm but I’m not so sure anymore with so many activities to choose from.  I don’t know how families with more than one child […]

Surrender and Selflessness

From Dan McClain… Philippians 2:5-8 (ESV) Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And […]

First in Prayer

For me personally, it has been encouraging to know […]

What do you call God?

Psalm 9:10:  Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.  The way you address God or refer to Him is one indicator to the depth of your relationship or lack thereof it.  Think of it this way. What you call me reveals how well […]

Show and Tell

I loved show and tell day in grade school.  Bringing the project or collection from home, the pet, the random souvenir that I got on vacation.  Show and tell day was this opportunity to reveal something about yourself to your class.  Maybe something they didn’t know, or maybe something that they’d heard you talk about, […]
