    Doing what the word of God tells us to do to see the Glory of God once again in our churches.

    Intro: A. W. Tozer once said, "I’m afraid we modern Christains are long on talk and short on conduct. We use the language of power but our deeds are the deeds of weakness.

     | 2,419 views

    Isaiah prophetically recalls the fall of Lucifer while addressing God’s judgment upon Babylon. Lucifer, whose name would be changed to Satan (“the adversary”) is conceptually linked to the arrogance of the King of Babylon.

    “Off the Chart” Egos Isaiah 14:3-20 1. Today’s joke is short, but one of my funnier jokes. I think I shared it last in 2005. Here goes. There is an old story about a pastor leaving a church.

    What does the shaking off the dust represent ? It speaks of being ready to share the gospel, not covered in the dust of the world.
