    We need to feel that fire again. We need to feel it in the heart again. Like days of old, where people were cut to the heart, and when Jesus up out the scriptures to the disciples and their hearts burned. Let us see the fire from heaven again.

    What’s the big deal about missions? Why does it matter if people hear about Jesus? Aren’t all religions the same? This message takes a look at a historic mountain top experience and asks Does it really does matter what you believe?

    God will get our attention and force us to make choices, despite our desire to avoid decisions or our wish to be secular. When the lightning strikes it may be painful but it will be about grace.

    You can most certainly expect God to attract your attention. I cannot tell you exactly how He will do it, but I do know that He will do it. He will attract your attention. Many of us face a spiritual issue called inattention. Distraction. Inattention. We are not paying attention to what God is ...read more
