    Naaman had it all, BUT he was in need. That is exactly where everyone one of us stand before God if we have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ.

    God appears to Abraham & says, "I want you to take your son & offer him as a sacrifice on the mountain that I will show you." I can’t begin to imagine how Abraham felt inside when God asked him to do that.

    In a church you need "Reaching Out", you need "Reaching In" but Revival is about "Reaching Up."

    I think, that in talking about Revival, these past two Sundays, I may have caused some confusion over what I mean by that word and the reason for that is because Revival, is not a word that we hear much about in the churches of Christ. We know what the word Retreat means, we know what the words ...read more

As long as we are living outside of that purpose, there will be emptiness and a desire to crowd our lives with pleasures and ...read more
