There is much beauty in the makingWhat if God called you to do the most humble, unseen work and that it would cause you to kneel and wrestle and question and dig and till the uncultivated ground of your soul, but it would be done on your knees with Love kneeling right beside you?What if a lot of the answers you were looking for required nothing but simple childlike faith, that the wisdom found would be contrary to what you thought, and it would require your dreams and desires to be buried in the dirt, your hands to be emptied, and your soul to water it in worship as you planted it all?What if the promise of a new day keeps arising, and you see that, again and again, when your single seed dies, it has the ability to produce many more, and that the wind will help you carry those seeds over hills and through valleys, uncovering an uncommon beauty, redeeming everything in its time?What if an abundant, blessed life means living this process over and over but that the fruit will last forever, and the result will be one where your roots grow deep and your branches stretch high, all for the benefit of others and the beautiful glory of heaven?It's time to plant your seed.

Knowing God as our Father is a key to being who we really are. In knowing the Father for who he is, we aspire to be like him and increasingly reflect his character and values as true sons and daughters. The 'Father-life' that flows from him then becomes a dynamic life-force in us that produces many types of good fruit.See how the Father's love and holiness are integrated and how he meets us with both total acceptance and high ideals.Discover how biblical terms such as 'adoption' and being a 'child' and 'heir' of God are all connected with growth, maturity, and adulthood.Understand how our righteousness in Christ gives us much more than right legal standing with the Father. It also calls and empowers us to live well with God and others.Explore practical insights for living well, including the power of giving and receiving, the art of viewing others with the Father's eyes of grace, and how to find freedom in trusting submission to the Father.

You are under attack!We are living in an age where anxiety is rampant and in the Christian life the Bible warns that the devil is like a roaring lion looking for his next victim. One of his key tactics is to attack your faith in God by producing fear. Fear left unchecked produces a flight response creating anxiety leading to panic attacks.Dr. Robert Bakss has had 24 years of personal experience with mental illness as he has supported his wife, Jenny, in her struggle with Bipolar Disorder. He is no stranger to the effects of anxiety and panic attacks and has helped his wife and many others manage and overcome the debilitating effects of anxiety.Anxiety and panic attacks are the unwelcome visitors many of us can do without. The dread of having an attack is an awful feeling and often compounds the problem. At times coming out of seemingly nowhere, panic attacks transform the ordinary world of everyday life into a nightmare of anxiety and suffering. Dr. Bakss biblically addresses this issue and provides theological and practical strategies to deal with anxiety.
