Restoring Worship

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 26, 2024

Nehemiah was broken hearted over the condition of his people. Do you know something is sadly missing in our churches today? Weeping! How long has it been since you saw wet eyes in church? Tears at the altar?

Opening illustration: I was never ever overwhelmed with worship at any church in our nation as much as my spirit was moved by the worship at the rickety broken ‘Church of Noah’s Ark’ at Monterrey, Mexico. Even though I did not understand the language, but the power of the Holy Spirit was so ...read more

Live Until You Die, Die Until You Live

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 23, 2009

We admire those who pursue life goals as long as they can; but our calling is to die to self. It will mean a change of values and of attitudes, but it will give us true life.

There’s a strong compulsion in us to extract all the value and the vitality we can get out from ...read more
