    What drove the man who wore rags rather than “Botany 500” was being true to God’s calling on his life – making certain his generation understood genuine faith and power. There have always been a lot of mistaken ideas about that.

Do not begin to say to yourselves, ’We have Abraham as our ancestor’; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up ...read more

What has happened, or what is happening at the moment which you think might be beyond or outside of God’s care and control? Is it one of these: Is it your children; a family member; a ...read more
