Be Happy (Part One)

CGG Weekly by Gary Montgomery

As we age, the pressures of life, work, and experience all contribute to wearing us down. Only a few seem to have learned to remain happy despite hardship.


Sending Thank-Yous

CGG Weekly by Dan Elmore

It is a big mistake to neglect expressing earnest thanks whenever it is called for. The benefits to others and to us are too valuable to pass up.


Daily Thanksgiving

'Ready Answer' by Staff

Too many confine their giving of thanks to one day a year. Answering these four questions will help us to evaluate our approach to this spiritual duty.


The Joyful Advantage

Because a brain with a positive attitude has higher levels of dopamine and serotonin, it is more successful and productive.


Small, But Significant

Hope is the ability to expect positive outcomes despite current circumstances. Faith, hope, and love are the three elements of the fuel for our spiritual journey.


Reasons for Optimism

The end-time proclivity of 'running to and fro' like so many ants is not something of God. He did not intend for us to live in such a fast-paced world.

When we neglect to become thankful, our hearts harden, bringing about alienation from God. Gratitude is the glue that cements our relationships with God.


Overcoming Discouragement and Depression

Tithing: 'Try Me Now!' (Part One)

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Real saving faith is a gift from God, but we are obligated to walk by this faith, developing incremental levels of faith through obedience.


Pure Language Restored
