    Oral Roberts used to use a chorus that some detested, ‘Expect a miracle every day, Expect a miracle when you pray, If you expect it God will find a way, To perform a miracle for you each day.’ - Expectations may be high and in the right place but there are still times of waiting for His answer! ...read more

    BEHIND THE BACK CONFLICT We say one thing to people’s faces and then another behind their backs. Sometimes it seems easier and not worth the conflict.
