The ability to calm your soul and wait before God is one of the most difficult things in the Christian life. Our old nature is restless...the world around us is frantically in a hurry. But a

Revival Prayer Exalts God, because it puts things in perspective: God is high and lifted up—
It’s like flying up in a plane and everything is so small. It’s not that our problems disappear, but we realize from God’s perspective, it is nothing he can’t handle.
I remember how honored and humbled I

Could God make a object too heavy to lift?
Couldn’t lift – not all powerful.
Couldn’t make – not all powerful.
Wrong question.
God is not bound by physical limitations.
But there are many roads to the top of the

God continues to show up in our day, though largely unnoticed by an unbelieving world. When he comes again it will be impossible to ignore him, for “every eye will see him” (Revelation 1:7). But until then, we need to have eyes that see and ears that hear. There are many examples that I could

I like to illustrate God’s wrath with a lit match and a piece of paper. If I bring the flaming match into contact with the paper, everyone knows what will happen. The flame will consume the paper. This requires no red in the face anger toward the paper. It is simply a law governing these two

How deeply do you desire to connect with God? Are you desperate to see a mighty movement of God on your campus and throughout your generation?
In the first decade of recent centuries, God has moved in astonishing ways to bring spiritual awakenings through students. We are living in that time

Since Jesus is God and has been since before creation, he is responsible for whatever is created. As John says in verse 3, “All things came into being through him…”
That means that Jesus is the creator, and that everything else is a creation. As difficult as it is to believe that the universe was

When we are no longer alert as God’s watchmen, we have a tendency to be insensitive to all the dangers around us.
I can’t help but be reminded of a frightening experience we had when my eldest son was working the late shift at a bakery. He came home dead tired one night and I was already asleep.

The image from our first reading, of God writing his law on our hearts, is very consoling and meant to encourage us.
The image of writing could call to mind one complication. That is, if we are honest with ourselves we all could probably admit that we may not always be the best medium for God to

In JAMES 5:15, God promises us that a prayer offered in true faith will even make the sick person well. Let’s take that model of prayer and hold it up against the way we pray today. Most of us, being honest, pray something like this: ‘God I want you to make me well.’ And then in the back of our

Verse 14 (where the psalmist calls God awesome and says he needs to fall down to the ground in adoration of God) is often misunderstood, though. There is a scene in a very cynical, satirical movie that applies to the world’s misunderstanding of praise. It is a scene from a Python film called "The
