FOUR STORIES OF GOD’S FAITHFULNESS

Miracles and Moments The Great Miracle Worker — the incomparable God of the universe — has been at work in miraculous ways throughout all of human history. This redemptive and transformative work continues today through the power of the Holy Spirit. Our great privilege is to participate in the miraculous, to observe and record the miracles and to give thanks for all these things. As Charles Colson wrote, “It is not what we do that matters, but what a sovereign God chooses to do through us. God doesn’t want our success; He wants us. He doesn’t demand our achievements; He demands our obedience. The Kingdom of God is a kingdom of paradox, where through the ugly defeat of a cross, a holy God is utterly glorified. Victory comes through defeat; healing through brokenness; finding self through losing self.”
