    Are you sure what you believe and practice is balanced on God's scale?

    In my years since becoming a Christian, I have found that people in general tend to be like pendulums that are normally broken to either stay on the Left or Right side of the swing without ever seeing the middle or they are stuck in the middle and never move at all.

    The rise of Christianity in the West propelled Western nations to great advances in science, economics and politics. This Christian foundation is the basis for America's freedom and greatness, and is in great danger as America turns away from God.

    This week, America celebrates 239 years of political independence. But Freedom is more threatened now than at any time since the General Howe nearly defeated Washington’s army on the shores of Long Island in 1776. Friday’s ruling by the US Supreme Court is not ultimately about ...read more

    If we have accepted the name of Christ as our own, it means we have repented of our sins, given up our desires and our preferences and submitted fully to Him. Are we submitted to Him or still trying to live fulfilling our own selfish needs?

    We must understand that our nation is on the verge of birth pangs and there is a desperate cry for revival in the body of Christ. Numerous obstacles do not create a conducive atmosphere for it to birth, so what do we do as a church about it?
