    The Jews were fearful that their disobedience in not rebuilding the Temple was going to put them back into exile, but in their repentance they see a loving and forgiving God that absolutely blows their mind!

It’s title “Climb Higher and Believe Me.” “I simply want My body to believe Me. I want those who are Mine, to take My Word as if they know nothing else, (Let ...read more

    Today it is not unusual to hear some of these questionable television preachers on television claiming they have all kinds of visions and revelations they have received from God.

    I do not doubt that many of these have received these visions and revelations they claim they have received, but knowing the life of some of these, I do doubt that these visions and revelations came from God. Some are quick to point out that many of the New Testament Saints had such visions. ...read more

    Our look at the Twelve apostles concludes with the last four on the list - James the Less, Simon the Zealot, Jude Thaddeus, and the apostle who threw his calling away, Judas Iscariot.

    When we look at the lives of the twelve men whom Jesus chose to be His apostles, we need to make a notation. None of these men would be known today except for the fact that Jesus chose to pull them out from obscurity and ordinary situations. None of them were of renown or any type of prominence. ...read more
