As one who enjoyed a special measure of God’s wisdom, Solomon reminds us that the only constant in life is change — there is a season for everything (Ecclesiastes 3:1). We are experiencing a changing of seasons here at Positive Action.
The Sermon on the Mount is practical Christianity. With one critical teaching after another, Jesus cuts through centuries of tradition, laws, and culture to reveal a picture of life in God’s kingdom. He overturns outward formalism and impossible religious codes, speaking directly to the heart of the gathered crowd. His path is different than anything they have seen or imagined.
We’re excited to announce the release of a new Bible study covering important themes from church history. As the first of two planned volumes, God’s Prevailing Work: Themes in Church History, AD 30–1517 introduces major figures and events from the ascension of Christ through the dawn of the Reformation.
I’m happy to announce the release of Songs for Your Path, a 180-day devotional that explores the joy, wisdom, and hope of the Psalms. I trust you’ll find it a friendly guide for the path that God has set for His children.
The book grew from my personal journey through the Book of Psalms. In these pages I’ve recorded my glimpses of God’s glory, the wisdom of His righteousness, and the joy of His presence.

The darkest moments along the path of God are those when we feel God has forsaken us. All of God’s children experience these moments, and David was no exception.
In David’s day, horses and chariots provided a significant advantage in warfare. Swift and agile, a chariot made a difficult target for the enemy to hit.
In 1931, a man named Ted Hustead purchased the only drug store in the small town of Wall, South Dakota. Normally the store’s business would have suffered in such a remote location, but thanks to the opening of Mt. Rushmore and creative advertising, Hustead transformed the tiny drug store into one of the largest attractions in the area.
The Reformation in England took the path of a State Church established apart from the Church of Rome. Though corruption of doctrine crept in through the ages, men of God still ministered within the Anglican Church. Bishop Handley Moule was such a man.
Psalm 17 portrays the intimacy of God’s care for His people, and Psalm 18 expounds on the incredible power of that care.
The Bible uses many word pictures to illustrate God’s care for His children.
Easter is God's answer to the curse of sin and death. Every generation has faced the corruption and separation that came from Adam and Eve’s sinful taste. This curse kills the soul as well as the body, creating a barrier to the Lord of Life that no human could cross. None of us can kill death—only God could thwart it.
