    Today’s church struggles with idolatry just like the nation of Israel struggled with it. Repeatedly Israel invited God’s displeasure by their dual allegiance which was and is idolatry.

    Who is Your God? 1 Kings 18:21 “And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.” - Today’s church struggles with idolatry just like the nation of Israel ...read more

    Prayer is critical and vital to a Christian's life. We pray to our God, the God of the Bible but the world "prays" to false Gods and idols. There are clear differences between how Christians pray and how the world prays. Christians need to highlight these

    Prayer, it is a very deep and personal subject and one that is to be taken very seriously and There are very clear and distinct differences between what we as Christians call prayer and what the world calls prayer. Not only are there differences in what we call prayer there are major differences in ...read more

    There is a need for the Fire to fall again--a pure, unprofaned, holy fire from heaven to burn away the sacrifice so that the sweet rain of the Holy Spirit can come pouring down upon this land!
