Hearing God’s Voice
If you have gone through our Abide study, you know that we end each retreat with what we call the “Ezekiel Exercise,” in which each participant takes some time to practice abiding in God’s Word. Nearly all of our participants will hear directly from God during this exercise, and it is often a life-changing experience. […]
Our Role in the Covenant
Our discussion of the Covenant so far has covered the meaning and purpose of God’s Covenant with His people, who is able to receive the Covenant and how, and the numerous blessings God promises to give those who enter into the Covenant with Him. As we consider the Covenant, however, we must also realize that, […]
The Blessings of the Covenant
When we learn to step into God’s Covenant, there are innumerable blessings we start to experience as a result. This week, we are going to discuss what some of these blessings are and how they impact our lives. If you have missed our earlier posts on the Covenant and would like to learn more, check […]
The People & Place of the Covenant
In last week’s post, we discussed the Covenant God has made with His people. God says that if we are His people, He will bless us to be a blessing, for His glory, and for the benefit of the people who surround us. But how do we know if we are His people? Where and […]
The Covenant: Blessed To Be A Blessing
At Abide Ministries, we are constantly talking about the Covenant. It comes up in several of our studies, as we believe that living in the Covenant is a key piece of living a thriving Christian life. If you’ve been a Christian for a while, you may have heard of the Covenant in other contexts as […]
Receiving Forgiveness

What Does It Mean to Forgive?
At Abide Ministries, we constantly talk about the critical role of forgiveness in experiencing the abundant life of God. But what is forgiveness? Most of us probably think of forgiveness as pardon. It is letting someone off the hook for something they have done. Others may think forgiveness is the mending of a broken relationship. […]
Joining God’s Remnant
We’ve discussed what God’s Remnant is, as well as the promises God has made to those within His remnant (If you missed it, check out our blog posts on The Remnant and God’s Promises to the Remnant). But how do we become part of the Remnant? Are we automatically a part of the Remnant when […]
God’s Promises to the Remnant
In our latest post on The Remnant, we discussed the judgment the world faces today, and the provision God gives to His Remnant—those who choose to seek Him amidst a world which has fallen away. Today, let’s dig into the specific ways in which God promises to provide for His people. These promises apply to […]
