    In general the church has made little progress as pertains to spiritual gifts, This problem could be cured if we would once again allow the Holy Spirit to birth divine desire in our hearts.

    1Co 14:1 “DESIRE SPIRITUAL GIFTS” Every thing Jesus did from a supernatural standpoint was an operation and manifestation of at least one, or a combination of the gifts of the spirit in his life. Why teach on the gifts of the spirit? (1) If there is to be any manifestation ...read more

    The Bible has a lot to say about love. But so does the world. The problem is that the world doesn’t say the same thing the Bible says, & we tend to get the two mixed up.
