    Who will say with Mary: The Lord has looked with favor on my lowliness. My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

    The song of Mary is the oldest Advent hymn. It is also the most passionate, the wildest, and one might almost say the most revolutionary Advent hymn that has ever been sung. This is not the gentle, tender, dreamy Mary as we often see her portrayed in paintings. The Mary who is speaking here is ...read more

    We don't need American Exceptionalism as much as Jesus Exceptionalism, that liberates the whole human person.

    Over the last few years I have heard a lot of people talking about “American Exceptionalism.” That is a theme of commentators like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, but it is also something that many politicians on the left are drawn to–they want to make America exceptional by the ...read more

    An introductory message on who the Holy Spirit is

    Who Is the Holy Spirit John 14:15-20, 25-26 When you think about it, we as Christians understand and relate more to God the Father and Jesus the Son than we do the Holy Spirit?

    The movement of the Holy Spirit brings revival to the church

    We desire a revival from God that is anything but Biblical. We want God to come on the church in power and do amazing things. We also want God to leave things the same and not change anything.

Pretty much every religious group that calls itself "Christian" believes they are being led by the Spirit to believe and practice the things they do ...read more
