    ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE ... THERE ARE STATEMENTS DESIGNED TO MAKE US AWARE OF POTENTIAL DANGER. One such warning is in Proverbs 14:12: "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death."

    ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE ... THERE ARE STATEMENTS DESIGNED TO MAKE US AWARE OF POTENTIAL DANGER. The Lord reveals to us those things; knowing what is best for us and what can hurt our relationship to Him. We are often informed of wrong choices, and told of the expected consequences. We need to be ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 196 views

    Jesus entrusts believers with real spiritual authority, inviting us to pray boldly and trust God’s wisdom as we partner with Him to bring heaven to earth.

    Some of you jingled a set of keys on your way in today. House keys. Car keys. Office keys. Each one says, “You belong here. You can open this.” Keys are tiny, but they carry quiet authority. They don’t raise their voice. They don’t flash and flare. They simply turn, and doors obey. That’s why the ...read more

    A balanced approach to healing.

    If you receive prayer requests via e-mail and listen to those at your prayer meetings, it does not take long to see that about ninety per cent of those prayers relate to some illness or physical weakness.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,226 views

    Because Jesus lived on earth as a man, he typically experienced human limitations. His human side needed a balance between rest and ministry (work), and he was not afraid to say no.
