The Dwelling Place

Product Information

As we move towards our Thanksgiving offering, we would love to invite you to come and see this space for yourself. A space that has helped thousands of families this year and will help thousands more in the years ahead. Not facts, not scientific knowledge, but eternal Truth delivers men, and that eternal Truth became flesh to dwell among us. "This is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” The God-always-answers-prayer sophistry leaves the praying man without discipline. By the exercise of this bit of smooth casuistry he ignores the necessity to live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world, and actually takes God's flat refusal to answer his prayer as the very answer itself. Of course such a man will not grow in holiness; he will never learn how to wrestle and wait; he will never know correction; he will not hear the voice of God calling him forward; he will never arrive at the place where he is morally and spiritually fit to have his prayers answered. His wrong philosophy has ruined him.” This month is our two-year Prayer Room anniversary! We've had it in our hearts for quite some time to develop prayer here at Dwelling Place Anaheim and beyond the building. Join us for a week of prayer from Oct 29 to Nov 5 from wherever you are. This week is all about adding feet to our prayers and connecting with God in our own neighborhoods, homes, and workplaces. Take your next steps in prayer. Self-derogation is bad for the reason that self must be there to derogate. Self, whether swaggering or groveling, can never be anything but hateful to God.”

The victorious Christian neither exalts nor downgrades himself. His interests have shifted from self to Christ. What he is or is not no longer concerns him. He believes that he has been crucified with Christ and he is not willing either to praise or deprecate such a man.” We were surprised on how amazing the food and the people were and so we ended up having dinner nights here throughout our stay in Fowey. They who believe the Christian revelation know that the universe is a creation. It is not eternal, since it had a beginning, and it is not the result of a succession of happy coincidences whereby an all but infinite number of matching parts accidentally found each other, fell into place and began to hum.” Because of your generosity and prayers, last year we opened our new food pantry. A space of quality and beauty that promotes the dignity and value of every guest. A space to bring practical, emotional, financial, and spiritual support to families as they take their next steps out of poverty. The Dwelling Place is the organization serving Montgomery County, MD that breaks the cycle of generational homelessness by working to help families experience a life free from fear and gain opportunities for long-term stability .The man that believes will obey; failure to obey is convincing proof that there is not true faith present. To attempt the impossible God must give faith or there will be none, and He gives faith to the obedient heart only. Where real repentance is, there is obedience; for repentance is not only sorrow for past failures and sins, it is a determination to begin now to do the will of God as He reveals it to us.”

of female head of households without spouses present live below the self-sufficiency standard and 30% of single mothers with children less than 5 years old live in poverty in Montgomery County. I wish I could say to that, on, whatever day it is, April the 8th or something like this, the angel of the Lord appeared to me and said, ‘Behold, this is your new name,’” he said. “But that didn’t happen.” There's lots of nice places to eat and drink in Fowey, but this place was head and shoulders above the rest. Moses uttered this assurance again to the people of Israel as they were about to enter the Promised Land: “The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms” (Deuteronomy 33:27, ESV). Moses wanted the people to comprehend that God Himself had always been and would always be their permanent, immovable, unshakeable, eternal home. The Lord was their place of shelter and refuge, and His everlasting, all-powerful arms would forever be under them to uphold and carry them through life.

Any objection to the carryings on of our present golden-calf Christianity is met with the triumphant reply, "But we are winning them!" And winning them to what? To true discipleship? To cross-carrying? To self-denial? To separation from the world? To crucifixion of the flesh? To holy living? To nobility of character? To a despising of the world's treasures? To hard self-discipline? To love for God? To total committal to Christ? Of course the answer to all these questions is no.” All that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever" (I John 2:16, 17) .” Our choices reveal what kind of persons we are, but there is another side to the coin. We may, by our choices, also determine what kind of persons we will become. We humans are not only in a state of being, we are in a state of becoming;”
