    The timing of Isaish's vision is significant in itself and the vision gives three messages to people: to appreciate the majesty of God, to repent and get right with Him, and then go out and witness to His love, mercy and forgiveness.

    Isaiah 6: 1- 8: Four messages. (the timing, ‘Lo’, ‘Woe’, ‘Go’) Not one word in the Bible should be taken for granted, so let’s begin by looking at the words “In the year that King Uzziah died”, because these are significant We can read about ...read more

    What Exactly Is A "Layman?"

    Contributed by Mark H. Stevens Thd on Jan 24, 2014
     | 8,814 views

    The Church is very ineffective because it is Clergy Driven and not driven by ALL believers with a passion for souls!

    One problem I have found in the modern church is that we have made the church a CLERGY run entity. God meant the church to be driven by ALL of the saints. We are a body of BELIEVERS and BELIEVERS are supposed to CAST OUT DEVILS, PREACH THE GOSPEL, and LAY HANDS on the sick. (James 5:16 and Mark ...read more

    Of the four roads supposed to lead to happiness, two are dead-ends--the pursuit of pleasure and the pursuit of honor and power--but the paths of service and union with God actually get us there.
