    Seems we desire the fire but we will settle for smoke? Are we so good at offering excuses that we refuse to accept accountability and the responsibility for our actions, reactions or no action?

    WHO WILL TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com I love to start with a question. Will you answer this: ARE YOU THE PROBLEM? OR ARE YOU THE SOLUTION?

    This story teaches that spiritual mantles must not be lost in transition. If we don’t raise people hungry for the fire, the work of God in one generation may fade in the next.

    God is our Judge and our Joy! Our daily living must reflect what God wants from us -- following the Word of God, submitting to God, resisting the devil, humbling yourselves before the Lord, purifying your heart, and be peace-loving, considerate, full of mercy, and sincere (James 3:17)

    When the Lord appeared to Abraham and the 3 visitors came to him, to tell him that Sarah would have a son, the Lord told him he would destroy Sodom and Gomorrah with the wicked and the righteous together. Abraham called Him 'The Judge of All the Earth." But the "Judge" was able ...read more

     | 5,753 views

    Staying on fire for God can be one of the most difficult things we do. Pastor John Bishop talks to us about the Church at Laodicea and how we can maintain the joy of our salvation and share it with the rest of the world.

    PRAYER: Father, I pray that You’d bring our faith back to life. That the parts of our faith that have kind of become ’flat-lined’, this apathetic sort of indifference, that’s so affected us and it’s affected the people around us.

     | 5,254 views

    This preacher had but one church member in Chapter 17 who believed in him, but it was enough encouragement to give Elijah the boldness to call down fire from Heaven in Chapter 18!

    “Making a Big Deal out of a Widow Woman” How God provided for Elijah... God could no longer bless the nation of Israel. Elijah was instructed by God to go to wicked King Ahab and his notorious wife, Jezebel, that a famine was coming. This famine would effect all of the people of Israel including ...read more

    God spoke to Elijah through the stillness, the quiet, the small voice. God did not answer or appear in the extraordinary, the wind, the earthquake or the fire. He certainly can, but oftentimes chooses the quiet.

    I want to tell you a true story, look at its ramifications and see how it applies to our lives today. It is a familiar story, an Old Testament story, a story of one of God’s greatest prophets and his calling.
