Acts 3:6 “What I do have I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, walk!” How is it possible limbs that have never been functional; bones never held weight, muscles and nerves never used, suddenly become fully functional? It was a power flow from a spiritual realm to the natural realm. […]

Psalm 91:1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. Take a second and reflect how many times you have said, or you have heard, “I am under attack of the enemy”, and compare those statements to the number of times we have heard, “I

How to Make Room for More Blessings! How good is a glass of cool water on a hot day? How refreshing is that first deep breath in the morning? It feels good to receive. We love receiving. We love being filled up. But, by definition, filling something means it is less than full. I have

I am going to veer a bit from my normal emphasis regarding believers and unbelievers. For many years I have encouraged relationships with unbelievers.

We have heard “politics and religion don’t mix”. Many try to divorce the two. I read an interesting article recently by Jonathan Leeman, “Every government is a deeply religious battleground of gods. No one separates their politics and religion—not the Christian, not the agnostic, not the secular progressive. It’s impossible.” Each person has one mind,

Romans 1:21; For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. It is interesting that thankfulness is an important part of out spiritual lives. When we are not Romans 1 says a bad thing happens.Our thinking becomes
