Have we lost our spiritual authority and if so, how can we regain it? This begins a study of Ephesians.
What has become of the days of Charles Finney, Smith Wigglesworth, and Jonathan Edwards? Where are the days of the Welsh Revival, the Great Awakening, the Azusa Street Revival? Why do we have history but no present day application in the Pacific Northwest? Am I the only one asking these kinds ...read more

Of those 2 million 31% didn't like their boss. For those who hate to do the math that is about 620,000 people a month who quit because ...read more

When we commit ourselves to God, we remove all hindrances. This is what the Pharisees couldn't do because they were only committed to themselves. If we do not want to be modern day Pharisees, we've got to be willing to devote ourselves to Jesus!

In many of these homes, from the street you see the garage doors are open, and you immediately come to the conclusion there is no way they could park a car in there because they are filled with what looks like junk. It is even dangerous to walk into some of these carports because you might get ...read more
