    We speak and we view only in part because the afterlife is a place we have never been. Talking about heaven and hell is sort of like a person taking a vacation to a place he/she has never been before. Take Hawaii, for instance. I’ve never been there. I would love to go, and perhaps one day will ...read more

    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.
