David Leonard ‘The Wait’ Review
David LeonardThe Wait (Integrity Music) David Leonard, half of the Grammy-nominated band All Sons and Daughters, has struck out on his own and released a soul-filled pop record that should be regarded as one of the year’s best. On The Wait, Leonard crafts songs that don’t shy away from the troubled side of a believer. These songs speak of heartache and loneliness, but they also point to the solution—Jesus. On “Wanderer,” Leonard sings “Though I wander far from You/ You find me and bring me home,” and that’s a constant theme throughout the album—a very present, very real God that is here when we are at our lowest. The star…

After Hurricane Katrina, Pastor Debra Morton needed a playbook of faith for herself and for those she ministered to. Because pain happens.

Five Ways To Worship When You Are Weary
It’s not easy to keep going when you’re tired. Fatigue zaps us of our strength. Weariness wears on your soul like a rung-out dish cloth. How do you keep going when you’re all out of “go?” What’s the secret sauce to getting your spiritual fervor back? I think it’s different for everybody. You and God are the only ones who know exactly what you have gone through and what you’re currently going through. Even the people going through difficulties with you don’t fully understand because they aren’t you. They don’t have your perspective, history, etc. Your perception and experiences are unique to you. But let me offer you…

Extraordinary in the Ordinary
All of us love hearing stories of miraculous healings. Our hearts are stirred when we hear about impossible situations being beautifully restored. We get inspired by people exhibiting supernatural strength and endurance when pushed to their absolute limits. Truthfully, I’m a junkie for these kinds of things. Being a writer, I’m always on the lookout for powerful, moving stories for inspiration and ideas. When we read about the miracles Jesus performed while He walked among us, they fuel our faith and give us hope when things seem hopeless. But we have to remember that not every miracle was accepted or celebrated. Remember when Jesus healed on the sabbath and got the religious leaders all riled up.…

Simply Resistible
Modern Bible readers see Jesus as an extension of the Jewish Scriptures, our Old Testament. Jewish leaders in Jesus’ day didn’t see Him as an extension or fulfillment of anything… From their vantage point, Jesus was introducing something new. On this, they were correct. ~ Andy Stanley BEFORE YOU BEGIN A quick reading reminder before… The post Simply Resistible appeared first on FaithGateway.
