    Where is the power? The power is found in Christ alone! It sounds so simple, then why do we have such a problem following it.

    Where Is The Power? No matter how hard I try, I just can’t stop using profanity, lying, cheating, stealing, turning my back on God! What I need to know is: where’s the power.

    ONE OF THE GREATEST ABUSES OF TITLES TODAY IS "CHRISTIAN." TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE USING THIS TITLE AS IF IT WERE ONLY A SUMMATION OF THEIR LIVES AS BEING A GOOD, DECENT, CHURCH-GOING, LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN. CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A "TITLE" TO BE ABUSED OR USED AS LEVERAGE. A CHRISTIAN IS WHAT ONE BECOMES ...read more

    The Spirit comes to the church as fire, passion, energy, but He comes as energy to follow the Lord’s directions, not merely as excess motion.

    My grandfather’s workshop held an item that was of special interest to me when I was a boy. Sitting off to the side of his cluttered workbench was a wonderful object – a model railroad locomotive.
