    How easy it is to become parched and dry. What we need are fresh showers of blessing to soften our hearts and bring fruitfulness to our lives. The Holy Spirit wants us to understand that we are helpless without Him. The Holy Spirit chose human vessels to

    We don't like to think about the Day of Judgment. And when we do, we like to impose our own thoughts on how it will go. What does this passage tell us about our ability to get away from God's judgment?

    - There are additional things going on in this passage, but I want to focus on the overarching idea: trying to escape the judgment of God. UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTHS: 1. GOD IS THE JUDGE. - Genesis 18:25. - God plays many roles – Creator, Sustainer, Father. He also plays the role of Judge. 2. HE ...read more

    A Veteran Of Holiness?

     | 4,507 views

    To be a top Soldier in the Army of the Lord, one cannot often be AWOL from formation. Excessive absenteeism from Church leads to a weak line of defense against the battles of everyday life in the ungodly environment we face in this world.

    Have you been in any battles lately? Did you win, or were you put down? Sometimes it seems that our daily walk with the Lord is definitely a form of warfare. In your biggest battle, were you about ready to surrender and give it up? Some folks do. Some give up without a fight, some give up after a ...read more

    Today we’re going to look at the danger of sleeping spiritually. Romans 13:12 gives us two reasons: “The night is far spent, the day is at hand.” We are told that this is no time to sleep. It is high time to awake.

    In Mark 13, Jesus prepared His disciples for two future events: the destruction of Jerusalem and His second coming. The first event would come with warnings, but the second will be a surprise. Readiness and alertness and trust in the Lord were necessary for both.

    Jesus offers full coverage for eternity—paid in His blood, active by faith, canceled only by neglect. Heaven Farm is here.

    If you turn on the radio long enough, you’ll hear it: a cheerful jingle promising that when disaster strikes, your insurance company will be there for you.
