On Patriotic days in our nation, the military forces of this nation sometimes put on a show of power before the American people.

Every time we see this show of force, we can’t help but to stand in amazement of the weapons of mass destruction that this nation has at its disposal! But as we see some of the force of our military power, we know that much of it can never be shown to the American people because the power of ...read more

71%

Contributed by Johnny Bley on Aug 30, 2002

Five of the seven churches in Revelation were called to repent. What we need today is REPENTAL instead of Revival.

“71%” Revelation 2:1-3:22 Next week will begin our revival services, but I pray that revival has already begun. Some of you may wonder if we need revival as a church or even as an individual. Why do we have revivals? Have our revival services become just two additional days during the week ...read more

Let Justice Run Down

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 15, 2021

In Amos' time, justice and righteousness no longer prevailed in Israel; but rather, it had become wormwood. Wormwood is toxic, so Israel was dealing with a toxic justice system - but God was going to bring justice!

In Amos 5:24, we read, “Let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream!” This is a verse that probably resonates with us all. We all desire justice! I read some Christian articles that predicted the year 2020 to be “the year of justice,” but I doubt anyone who made these ...read more
