Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jan 19, 2004

Communion Challenge: I have this quote/question to stir us from, “God Chasers” today: “We think we know where God lives. We think we know what He likes, and are sure we know what He dislikes.

If You Can Compare You Can Declare Series

Contributed by Michael Karpf on Nov 16, 2012

God is incomparable with everything and anyone, and He cannot be likened to our images of Him. He is God we are not, therefore we need to bow everything in submission to Him, and instead of declaring healing or blessing, pray that His will be done.

IF YOU COMPARE YOU CAN DECLARE Isaiah 40 Last week I shared about a gospel that is being taught and it is spreading like wildfire in Asia, Africa, Latin America and my country. It is a gospel that looks attractive on the outside, but on the inside it is a deadly poison. There are many names for ...read more
