    Expanding the Kingdom of God during this Church Age is a mandate that is still incumbent upon all churches. If the doors to continued expansion are closing, it may be because we are disobedient, or it may presage the closing of this present age.

    “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens. “‘I know your works.

Though he seems alone, Elijah is on the offense. In his turn to call his God, he prepares the Lord’s altar using ...read more

    My wife tells me that I sometimes become nearly obsessed with certain things. I get so focused on something it consumes me. I fall into the pool after staring into it too long. Are you like that? I have a bit of an obsessive, addictive personality. I want it and I want more. I want to learn more. ...read more
