    We have modern-day Philistines. They are the forces threatening the people of God, harassing them and vowing to cause tragedies in their lives. They are not hiding their evil intentions. They say it openly just as Goliath was an open enemy

    Beloved, this week, we are considering a message entitled, “Holy Rebellion.” Sometime ago, a relative of mine brought a girl who had just arrived from the village to my house. The first night, she talked throughout in her sleep. I got angry in my spirit that day but I had to keep ...read more

    God is holy. Worship Him. Cultivate a reverence for God. Commit to living a Christlike life. Let God change you. Holiness is irresistible.

    The primary meaning of holy is separate, to cut. It means literally “I’m different!” • God’s purity is distinct, unique, and separate from all that we know. • When we find a dress or something that is outstanding, we say it is ‘a cut above the rest.’ ...read more
