    I was reminded of a couple of instances where two hyper-Charismatics told women they needed to get naked before the Lord. One was an older man and while the lady knew it was wrong she complied out of respect for the "prophet." The other one told two ladies they had to get naked before ...read more

It is a long way from the Palace to the backside of the desert. 3. A great many Christians are living in the backside of the desert. Why? ...read more

    There are great accounts of victory in the Bible. Some of the favorites are found in the opening chapters of the book of Daniel. We tend to see Daniel, Shadrach, Mechach and Abednego as heroes, but Who is the real hero in the Bible?

    David's story teaches us to keep our focus on God above all else. We must recognize the "giants" in our lives and trust that God is bigger and more powerful.

Not exactly glamorous, right? But God didn't care about that. He saw David's heart. Ever felt like you're not taken seriously ...read more
