Bible Study: Why This 16 Fundamental Truths Deep Dive Will Change the Way You Read the Bible
Have you ever sat down with your Bible, flipped to a random page in the Old Testament, and thought, "What in the world does this have to do with my life today?" I’ve been there. We’ve all been there. Sometimes the Bible feels like a massive, beautiful puzzle, but we’re missing the picture on the box to help us put the pieces together. You see a story about a shepherd here, a list of laws there, and a prophecy about a coming King somewhere else, but how does it all connect? Th

Evergreen Faith: What is the Initial Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit?
The initial physical evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues (glossolalia). This biblical sign, first seen on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2, serves as an outward confirmation of an inward spiritual empowerment. It is distinct from the spiritual gift of tongues used in public worship, acting instead as a uniform signal that a believer has received the promised gift of the Father.

Boundless Daily: Strength for the Hidden Hour
March 6, 2026 , Scheduled daily drop: 8:00 AM Some hours feel “hidden.” The hospital hallway at 2:10 AM. A kitchen light on while everyone else sleeps. A quiet room where you can’t safely worship out loud. A long shift, a long watch, a long season, where it feels like life is happening somewhere else. If that’s you, you’re not invisible to God. And you’re not “behind” spiritually because your schedule doesn’t look like other people’s. God meets people in the hidden hour. Th

Evergreen Faith : What Does the Bible Say About Anxiety?
A Message from FA Memphis The Bible provides a roadmap for moving from chronic worry to lasting peace by trusting in God’s presence and promises. Scriptural wisdom encourages believers to cast their anxieties on Christ, lean on the Holy Spirit for a sound mind, and focus on God’s sovereignty rather than tomorrow’s uncertainties. Trading fear for peace involves surrendering control and resting in the assurance that God cares for every detail of your life. Finding Stillness in

Spirit-Filled Living: Power for Your Purpose
Have you ever felt like you were running on empty? You love Jesus. You go to church online. You read your Bible when you can. But something feels missing. You feel a pull to do more, to be more, and to share your faith. Yet, the strength just isn't there. This is a common wall that many believers hit. We try to live the Christian life using our own willpower. We think if we just try harder, we will finally find our purpose. But the truth is, we weren't meant to do this alone.

Boundless Daily: Global Micro-Study - Day 19: The Gift of Tongues
If you’ve ever wondered what the Bible means by “tongues,” you’re not alone. For some people, it’s a confusing topic. For others, it’s deeply personal: something they’ve experienced in worship or prayer. And for many, it’s a question sitting in the background: Is this real? Is it for today? Is it for me? Today, we’re looking at The Gift of Tongues (AG Truth #8) : not as a debate topic, but as a Spirit-given gift meant to build up the Church, strengthen believers, and help us

The world feels different at 3:00 AM. While most people are tucked away in their beds, a whole different world is wide awake. There is a certain weight to the silence of the night shift. Whether you are a nurse moving quietly through a hospital corridor, a security guard watching over a silent building, a caregiver tending to a loved one, or simply someone struggling with the isolation of the dark hours, the night can feel like a lonely place.

Is Speaking in Tongues Still Relevant for Christians Today?
Internal Audience Label: Tier 1 – New Believers Seeking Clarity Yes—speaking in tongues is still for today. In the Assemblies of God, we believe tongues are a biblical gift that continues: they are the initial physical evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:4) and can also be an ongoing prayer language that strengthens believers (1 Corinthians 14:2, 14–15). Why This Matters (and Why We Talk About It) If you’re a new believer, tongues can feel confusing—or hone
