Be Truly Inspired

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jan 15, 2024

There may be full pews under the spires, but all is vain unless the Spirit inspires.

The core problem is that we live in a culture that is looking for the innovative versus the inspired. We want excitement more than exegesis. Give us 10 easy steps to holiness or the 1minute disciple program and we are into it. Gather up a bunch of ideas that have been preached for years by many ...read more

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 23, 2022

He was so on-fire with ...read more
