Some time ago I was reading Michael Green’s book -’Evangelism in the Local Church’, and one phrase he used has really struck home with me. He said that:
’We have two ears and only one mouth - so why don’t we get our prayers into the same ratio - twice as

Most of us could stand to think a little harder about using credit wisely. Especially if we are like the man who was speaking to his coworker: "I'm proud to say that I have worked for 30 years, saved, scrimped, budgeted, invested - just so I could give my kids what I never

For instance, perhaps we can imagine overhearing Osama Bin Laden speaking to some of his Senior AQUI Operatives (and Bad Guys) in IRAQ: “Remember BROTHERS, when the chips are down, I’ll always be there for you. Unfortunately, the chips seem to be rather down at the moment; and at the rate the

“Christian preaching begins only when faith in the message has reached such a pitch that the man or the community proclaiming it becomes part of the message proclaimed…” says James S. Stewart in his work, A Faith To Proclaim “…To be thus taken command of, so that our testimony, when we go out to

ERROR VS. PERSON IN ERROR

"I'm No Moses!"
When I received my call to go into ministry, I was praying. Immediately, I rejected the call, telling God that I was a business person, not really minister material. I knew how to speak about marketing. I knew a bit about managing people. I could talk about that. On and on I

And what does this holy renewed heart mean? It means that we can belong to a holy nation. I don’t mean a nation on earth. I mean that we become citizens of heaven. We are different.
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people,

Jesus took the deaf mute man aside, away from the crowd, stuck his fingers in the mans’ ears and spat on his tongue. What Jesus was doing here of course was touching the affected areas. He put his fingers in the man’s ears because this was the location of his disability. He spat and touched his
