    The 21st-century world is louder than ever. And Scripture commands us not simply to run, not merely to endure, but to fix our eyes on Jesus.

    Jesus rarely calls the famous, the powerful, the influential, or the religious groups to preach the Gospel. He works best with those who feel that that have nothing to offer Him but follow and obey Him anyway.

In His early ministry, He preached in His hometown synagogue and nearly got Himself killed as a result (Luke 4:16-30). Wherever Jesus went, He either ...read more

    Reading the twenty-third psalm can be misleading if we only open our ears to verse one. "The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want". However, we must understand that the Lord, as our Shepherd, requires complete authority over the sheep. He must be in total

    1. I need His presence (He makes me to lie down in green pasture) This can only happen when I am in His presence. He's an interesting point about sheep being made to lie down. Sheep are very skittish animals. They are very Nervous and have to reach a high level of comfort ...read more
