    Jesus makes big promises, and we struggle to believe in the midst of our troubles and setbacks of life. Jesus gives us the strength to believe, and fills us with the hope of seeing God's glory someday.

    How quick are you to believe big promises? I think there’s a certain part of all of us that’s a little hesitant, a little skeptical, to believe every promise that we hear. Have you ever believed a promise, only to have that promise broken? “I promise you that we will give you ...read more

    Are leaders discipling or just serving desserts at Church? Are Christians studying or parroting?

    One of the churches in the area has been having some consternation and fear about the effect of one member’s viewpoint on the new converts or "baby Christians." I contend that IF churches were discipling their new converts they would have less fears about confusion. Besides there are far more ...read more

    Evidence Of A Spirit Filled Believer

    Contributed by Jerry Hoffman on May 27, 2009
     | 3,565 views

    John the Baptist gives us a clear picture of the attributes of a Spirit filled Christian.

    The most evident attribute of a Spirit filled Christian is their inability not to proclaim the name of Christ. Since the work of the Spirit is to bear witness to the world of Christ, His filling in our lives will produce the same result. John bears this out in his actions in John 1:15. John bear ...read more
