As we begin a new year, it’s wonderful to know that God makes us new! We are fearfully and wonderfully made, says Psalm 139:14, and Genesis 1:27 tells us we are made in God’s image. Sadly, sin interferes with His perfect plan—but when you give your life to Jesus and...
As the new year begins, it’s good to set aside time to ask God for wisdom. Proverbs 9:10 tells us, The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. This doesn’t mean we’re afraid of God; it means we are in absolute awe of His majesty, how He works through generations,...
CBN was birthed in prayer, with men and women of God answering His call to take the airwaves back from the prince of the power of the air to proclaim the Gospel. And so on October 1, 1961, we began broadcasting with just one camera in a tiny studio. Then in 1968, we...

An interesting story in Numbers contrasts two ways of looking at obstacles. Before the Israelites entered the Promised Land, Moses sent 12 men to spy it out. One spy named Caleb returned, saying, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to...
