The Relevance Of Wonders

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 23, 2022

Many churches are asking why they are not growing and why their outreach efforts seem so ineffective. Evangelism is most effective when the proclamation of the gospel is accompanied by a demonstration of signs and wonders.

Ministry and evangelism can be difficult in a country like America that holds a western worldview. The reason why is because people’s skepticism and unbelief concerning “the unseen” and “the miraculous” can limit church growth. God has bestowed on His people authority and power to see souls saved ...read more

Don't Lose What Is Already Good

Contributed by Ed Lu on Apr 21, 2023

Nahum whose name means comforter, chosen by God during a time of turmoil to deliver God’s verdict to the Assyrian empire straight into the heart of its capital - Nineveh. Isn’t it amazing when we choose to do what we are naturally good at, God uses us supernaturally to further advance His Kingdom?

I have been reading and meditating on the book of Nahum for our time today. It’s a book that’s easily lost, often ignored, hardly known, difficult to find, seldom turned (pages crisp) - some even describe it as “a hymn of hate” (NAC). Book about judgment and destruction, but don’t quit there, ...read more
