     | 3,345 views

    Of the four roads supposed to lead to happiness, two are dead-ends--the pursuit of pleasure and the pursuit of honor and power--but the paths of service and union with God actually get us there.

    What Exactly Is A "Layman?"

    Contributed by Mark H. Stevens Thd on Jan 24, 2014
     | 8,800 views

    The Church is very ineffective because it is Clergy Driven and not driven by ALL believers with a passion for souls!

    One problem I have found in the modern church is that we have made the church a CLERGY run entity. God meant the church to be driven by ALL of the saints. We are a body of BELIEVERS and BELIEVERS are supposed to CAST OUT DEVILS, PREACH THE GOSPEL, and LAY HANDS on the sick. (James 5:16 and Mark ...read more

     | 56,587 views

    I believe there are four reasons that we need revival as a church and individually – our eyes have been distracted, our hearts have become discouraged, our joy has been diminished, and our work has been disrupted

    Why We Need Revival Psalm 85:1-6 Revival is the giving of a new breath of life to that which is either waning or has ceased to breathe. Revival is a visitation of God which brings renewed life to Christians who have been sleeping, restoring them, producing a deep sense of God's near presence and ...read more

    Jesus asked Peter if he loved him. All true ministry flows out of our answer to that question.

     | 6,820 views

    The people who lived at the time of Jeremiah could not accept his message. Many people who heard Jesus preach could not accept his words. Today people, including ourselves, find it difficult to believe in a god of steadfast and overwhelming love.

    Jeremiah 11:18-20 “An Unaccepted Message” INTRODUCTION One of the most challenging jobs, or callings, is that of a prophet of change. Certainly, the Old Testament prophets, like Jeremiah, realized the enormity and difficulty of their task. Jeremiah lived in the seventh century B.C., and ...read more
