Although John never mentions himself directly in this epistle, he is universally accepted as the author.

    In a country founded upon god’s truth; it seems strange to say that America today is in a post-church era. The country is not only changing but has changed.

    What does unanswered prayer say about our level of faith? Many of us believe we're walking in more faith than we really are.

    A couple of years ago I came face to face with a very sobering and heart-wrenching revelation: my faith was not where I thought it was. But I didn’t know that until “I didn’t see” the faith results I was seeking. I had convinced myself that my faith was at a place where it was not. A very dear ...read more

    Have faith in God. Focus not on the size of your faith but the size of your God. Who do you believe in is important. Do not shift your focus away from God and onto your self, your skills, your knowledge or past accomplishments.
