Availability Over Ability
by Ed Newton on January 21st, 2026
“Here am I. Send me.” - Isaiah 6:8Many people believe God only uses those with impressive gifts, strong personalities, or recognized positions. Scripture tells a different story. Some of the most impactful moments in the Bible came through ordinary people who simply made themselves available. Philip is a perfect example. He was not an apostle. He held no high rank.

by Ed Newton on February 18th, 2024
"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." - Psalm 119:105 In the journey of faith, God doesn't demand that we see the entire picture. Instead, He invites us to take one step at a time, trusting that He will provide for us along the way. Psalm 118:105 reminds us, "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path."
