Now Is The Time

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 23, 2017

Candyman Or Doctor? Who Are You Looking For?

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 20, 2024

Jesus travels to Galilee and is greeted enthusiastically. However the Greeting is only with the hope of a great show, as those who he comes to preach to only want to see signs and wonders, and not the Savior from Sin.

The Doctor or the Candyman I was listening to someone talk about elections and democracy, and he dug up a great quote from the past. And by the past, I mean like 2500 years ago. Ancient Athens was the first democracy we know of, and Socrates, the smartest man of his time, hated the idea. This was ...read more

Showing Up, But Fired! When Disobedience Costs You Your Anointing

Contributed by Frederick Tanner on Nov 13, 2025

Have you ever known someone who still showed up for work every day, dressed right, on time, doing all the motions, but the truth is, they’d already been fired? The title and position might still say “employed,” but the authority and favor behind the role are long gone.

God gave Saul a command, destroy Amalek completely, but Saul did it his way, not God’s way. He kept what looked ...read more
