    Folks, we are at war - not just against the turban terrorists around the world, the militant mindsets around the world and the radical renegades around the world, but more than that - with the kingdom of evil and Satan - the power behind the throne!

    The king of Trye in his palace of gold and glitter ends up in a deep dark pit surrounded by dirt! This chapter is a fascinating chapter in that is used to give a perfect illustration using this king to describe how Satan will end up one of these days! In the 21st century, we can better understand ...read more

    Thorn In The Flesh

     | 18,220 views

    Some people become defined by their hardships while others rise above their pain. We may suffer broken relationships, broken promises, broken expectations, but we don’t have to become broken people. Pain is inevitable--misery is optional.

    No one knows for certain about the nature of Paul’s thorn, and there has been extensive speculation about the nature of his affliction. Explanations range from persistent temptation, dogged persecution, chronic malaria, migraine headaches, epilepsy, or a speech disorder. Because Paul dictated his ...read more

    This is an idea I received while listening to a cassette of Bro. Bob Harrington "The Chaplain of Bourbon Street" He is a dynamic speaker and a great man of God.

    There are some who do not completely understand the joy we have in being Christians. A lot of people are like a little boy who went to see his grandfather…. My friends, God did not save us to let us sit and sour. He expects us too be an example to a lost and dying world of His love. Too many times, ...read more

    Preaching is not the task of “making” scripture come alive; rather it’s “drawing out the life” that’s already in it.

    INTRODUCTION A. Look Closely At Hebrews 4:12-13 “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
