Jim Cymbala began at the Brooklyn Tabernacle as an ill-equipped, under-educated, time-strapped preacher who led a second congregation in New Jersey. The Brooklyn church had no money to pay him, a ramshackle building, and barely enough attendance to bother with weekly meetings.
Today, the

One of the most dramatic symbols of the new political freedoms in the worlds was the tearing down of the Berlin Wall. In 1990, church leaders invited Billy Graham to conduct a rally at the Brandenburg Gate. They said that rock stars, entertainers, and political groups had rallied at the Wall, but

It seems that people haven’t got a clue about spiritual truth. Many believe that the dead are roaming the earth as spirits or ghosts to help or haunt the living. Dale Earnhart Jr. in his account of his narrow escape from a burning sports car, as his Dad (Dale Earnhart SR -deceased) pulled him

Rabbi Eckstein also testifies to the willingness of Israeli citizens to unashamedly help others. This should free us as Christians from our hesitant inhibitions in reaching the lost for Jesus. “. . . Israelis are not too shy, embarrassed, inhibited, or intimidated to stand out in a crowd and

I can remember my first fight. It was in the 5th grade against Wesley. We agreed to meet in the cemetery that was between our houses and the school.
It was to be just me and him. But when I showed up there was a circle of kids who had come to watch the big fight. Fear overtook me and I ran all

We need to continually surge forward spiritually, to prevent sliding backward. I discovered recently that the Australian coat of arms has a picture of an emu and a kangaroo. They chose those particular animals because they both share a common trait that appealed to the Australian forefathers. Emus

WHAT THE WORD "DWELLING IN US" LOOKS LIKE
I think Sam Storms, in his book on Colossians, describes well what it looks like for the word of Christ to dwell in us. He talks about the Scriptures calling out to us. "Don’t just read me," they seem to say. "Feast on me! Meditate! Ruminate! Saturate your
