    The old Gospel hymn says "Oh, how I love Jesus", but in John 14 Jesus implies that not everyone who says they love Him actually do. Just because I go to church regularly doesn’t mean I really love Him, so how can I know I really love Jesus like I say I do

    Now … you want to talk about REAL power? You want to talk about power beyond our ability to imagine it? Beyond our ability to measure it or record it? If you want to talk about “real” power, you need to talk about the Source … the omnipotent … all powerful … all mighty … El Shaddai!

The Scripture says, “For freedom Christ has set us free.” We say we want to be free. We want to be free. But therein lies a problem. The problem is that that’s not ...read more
