    God’s power and presence remain active today, inviting us to trust Him in hardship, pray boldly, and expect miracles even in ordinary moments.

I once read one of his sermons and found the following description of the scene we just read about in Matthew: “It is early morning, but already the temple court is a bedlam of activity and noise. ...read more
