  • With all of our hearts, we are praying for revival in the church (the restoration of God's glory) and for spiritual awakening among the lost (the rapid expansion of His kingdom). Could it be that you have a part to play in setting the stage for such an outpouring of the Holy Spirit? Could it be that God wants to use your life, your obedience, and your prayers? Are you willing?
  • The details of each of our lives are different, but at one time or another we have all asked that question: How can I forgive? Let’s take a look at some biblical insights about the matter of forgiveness.
  • How can we be self-controlled in our eating? Does that mean that we should eat only a certain number of calories, avoid sugar, eliminate foods with fat, or perhaps a combination of all three?

Besides, chances are you have been on diets like that before, and you and I both know how they usually end.

About Jesus Christ

  • One of the most valuable aids to meditation is Scripture memorization. The fact is, we can and do memorize all the time. How?

We must steadfastly fix our eyes and our hope upon Him.

  • We redefined boundaries. We changed the rules of male-female relationships. We boldly pushed back against traditional definitions of gender and sexuality. We claimed our freedoms. We bought into the feminist promise that woman would find happiness and fulfillment when she defined her own identity and decided for herself what life as a woman was all about. How very wrong we were.

  • There are ten recurring, undergirding themes I’ve learned in ten years of ministry.

  • The doctor who destroyed her sight in her infancy never forgave himself, but there was no room in Fanny's heart for resentment. "If I could meet him now," she wrote, "I would say 'Thank you, thank you' - over and over again - for making me blind." Fanny Crosby's example reminds me of a truth I have learned over the years. In every circumstance that comes my way, I can choose to respond in one of two ways: I can worship, or I can whine! You have the same choice before you.
