    STANDING BEFORE HOLINESS "True repentance is when by the convicting power of God’s Holy Spirit, the sinner finally has a sense of revulsion and Godly sorrow for the condition of sin in his or her heart, and comes, empty-handed and un-defensive, without pretension or ceremony, in the most personal ...read more

    My resolve for this vision is reflected in the prayer below: More than anything else in heaven or on earth, I pray for the power to love my fellow person, to break through the condemning bigotry, the crippling prejudice, the stifling self-centeredness that smothers God’s Spirit within me, and to ...read more

    WITH ONE ACCORD But notice one very important phrase that some of the translations left out: "They were all with one accord in one place." This word in the Greek, "Homothumadon" has two parts to it--a sense of coming together, but in unison, in one accord. This word in the T.R., Homothumadon, ...read more

    I have heard the statement of couples being ’soul mates’, but I believe when two believers filled with the same Holy Spirit are married, it is God who has joined them together and no one, including the devil should be able to break that tie. In this outline we share a simple message around the ...read more

    "JUST PLAY ONE INNING." Many years ago baseball schedules were even more exacting than they are now, with double-headers almost every week.

    “All you need do is profess Jesus, or at least be religious, and you are readily accepted in that large and diverse group. Sin is tolerated, truth is moderated, and humility is ignored.
