    "o Lord, Revive Thy Work"

     | 2,563 views

    All over this great country of ours, CHURCHES have revival services each year. Many of these churches schedule them in the FALL and in the SPRING of the year.

    While it is good that churches schedule these services frequently, it is equally good that they recognize that before a church can experience a HOLY GHOST REVIVAL MEETING, they must know WHAT A REAL HOLY GHOST REVIVAL IS. A Holy Ghost Revival consist of at least three things, such as: 1. It is a ...read more

Notice, he wanted them to know how important this message was by introducing the message by saying, “Thus saith the Lord of hosts…” before he gave the message. In other words, he wanted them to know what he was ...read more

     | 4,299 views

    What do we value? What do we strive for, day to day? And the interesting challenge here is that even when we value good things (e.g., loving our family, helping others), they don’t come close to who Jesus is.

    A couple of weeks ago I was looking at my credit card balance, and it was much higher than I expected it to be. So I knew I needed to do a little audit there myself. I checked it out and realized that some of these charges aren't even mine. So I called the credit card company and we together ...read more

     | 1,738 views

    Even though they are aware of their abilities, some people believe they are entitled to make use of them however they see fit. When we use our abilities, how does it glorify God?

    Peter writes that everyone has some abilities. He also states that we are to use what God gave us to reach the world, not for our pleasure but for serving and edifying God. Paul mentions various gifts or abilities. • 1 Corinthians 12:8-11, For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to ...read more
