We pray with faith, receive care with humility, and trust God without blaming those who are still waiting.

The deeper question is not whether Gen Z is interested in spiritual things, but whether the Church will help that hunger find truth, community, and the transforming presence of Jesus. What Is God Doing Among Gen Z Right Now? God may be stirring spiritual hunger among Gen Z while also exposing how urgently this generation needs biblical grounding. The evidence does not justify declaring a sweeping

A Christian response to school violence must hold prayer, practical wisdom, emotional care, and peacemaking together. We can lament what has happened, ask God for protection and healing, support students and teachers, and pursue the conditions that help schools become places of safety, dignity, and belonging. When the classroom becomes a headline A classroom should be associated with discovery, friendship, and possibility, not fear. Yet recent school violence headlines have

Every Sunday, families touched by autism and special needs sit in the unseen pews, wondering if their child truly belongs in God's house. Imagine walking into a sanctuary where you spend the entire service scanning the exits, bracing for disapproving glances because your neurodivergent child made a sudden noise or needed to pace the back aisle.

Water baptism is a believer’s public act of obedience after repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. The Assemblies of God practices baptism by immersion because it visibly portrays a believer’s union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection, not because baptism earns salvation. Baptism is more than a ceremony Water baptism is a physical act carrying eternal meaning. A believer goes beneath the water and rises again as a visible testimony: “My old life is no longer m

Being led by the Spirit means bringing ordinary choices under the authority of Scripture, prayer, surrendered obedience, and wise Christian community. The Holy Spirit does not merely guide dramatic moments; He forms Christlike character in the decisions we make at home, at work, in relationships, and throughout the day. What Does It Look Like to Be Led by the Spirit in Everyday Decisions? The most spiritual decision you make today may not look dramatic. It may be choosing p

Before Memphis fills with traffic, notifications, and deadlines, the river is already moving. At 5 AM, the Mississippi does not need applause to keep going. It simply follows the course God has given it, quietly, powerfully, faithfully. For anyone carrying uncertainty, the river offers a timely reminder: trusting God does not mean understanding every turn. It means believing He is faithful through every one. What Does the River Teach Us About Trusting God’s Steady Rhythm? T

Morning fear can feel overwhelming because your body is waking into a natural stress-response rhythm while your mind begins rehearsing the day’s demands.

Yes, but protection requires more than a single screen-time limit. Parents can help by combining wise digital boundaries, honest conversation, healthy sleep, professional support when needed, prayer, Scripture, and strong offline community. The goal is not to raise children who are afraid of the world. It is to raise children who know where to turn when the world becomes loud. What happened in New Mexico? On August 6, 2026, a New Mexico court ordered Meta, the parent compan

The Christian life was never meant to be lived by human strength alone. The Holy Spirit is not an abstract force, a passing emotion, or a historical figure limited to the book of Acts. He is God’s present and personal Helper, teaching believers, guiding them into truth, empowering them to witness, strengthening them in prayer, and forming Christlike character. What is the role of the Holy Spirit today? The Holy Spirit is God’s abiding presence in every believer who has surr

The baptism in the Holy Spirit is a distinct empowering of believers for Christ-centered witness, ministry, and holy living. The early church experienced it because Jesus promised power through the Spirit so His followers could carry the Gospel with boldness, spiritual gifts, and dependence on God. The book of Acts does not present the Holy Spirit as a theological footnote. The Spirit is the living presence of God who turns frightened disciples into courageous witnesses. Wha

In stillness, we remember that God is present before the day begins, faithful while answers are forming, and strong enough to carry what we cannot. Before traffic begins to move through Memphis, before coffee shops open in Cordova, Bartlett, and Arlington, there is a sacred hush over the 901. The Mississippi River rests beneath the darkening sky. Porch lights glow. A few early risers lift the

At 5 AM, before the phone lights up and the day starts making demands, your mind is already reaching for a direction. Your first thought does not control your entire day, but it can influence what you notice, what you expect, and how you respond. When you intentionally turn that first thought toward God, you begin the day grounded in truth rather than governed by fear, pressure, or distraction. Why does your first thought matter? Your mind is not fully switched into the day
