    Brokenness

    Are we truly a broken people with a contrite heart? We just can’t move forward in revival till we come to that place of brokenness in our lives. The simple equation is no brokenness, no revival.

    Illustration: In the latter part of the 20th century, my wife Maureena and I would covertly minister to a group of young ladies in the jabels of the Arabian Peninsula who displayed immense boldness to live out Christ through their lives daily. Some of them were nurses and a few were teachers ...read more

    The Lord said through Jeremiah that the heart is deceitful above all things and Jesus said blessed are the pure in heart? Can both be true. Can the Lord change one into the other?

    Deceitful Heart or Pure Heart?

    Light dispells darkness. If there is too much darkness (sin/evil) in the world, we must ask "where is the light?"

    I LISTEN WITH INTEREST AT THOSE WHO DESCRIBE "ALL THE EVIL" THAT SEEMS TO BE INCREASING AROUND THE WORLD. SOME GASP IN AMAZEMENT AND ASK THE ENEVITABLE QUESTION: "WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?"

    God wants His people to be “A Blessed People.” Happily this blessing is not restricted in usage or potency to God’s ancient people but brings great joy, grace, and peace to Christians as well.

    NUMBERS 6: 22-27 A PEOPLE OF BLESSING [2 Corinthians 13:14 / Ephesians 1:3] God wants His people to be “A Blessed People.” A blessing is God’s way of asking for His divine favor to rest upon others. This benediction before us is most beautiful. The ancient blessing evoked in ...read more

    Saints, because of the lukewarmness that has infiltrated the church, we are living in an age of spiritual confusion and darkness but there is hope because God loves to dwell in the darkness.

    So don’t think you have to be perfect to minister the gospel of Jesus Christ. As a matter of fact think just the opposite. God uses broken vessels to be heralds of hope. It shows that it is God and not us who has all surpassing power.

    We had a family picture. One distant family member who had not seen me for years said they did not realize I was so tall. We looked again at the picture and laughed.
