When Two Become One
“’At last!’ the man exclaimed. ‘This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh!

Are You Longing for Revival?
“You held back Your fury. You kept back Your blazing anger. Now restore us again, O God of our salvation. Put aside Your anger against us once more. Will You be angry with us always?

The Heart of Prayer
I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised Him from the dead.

No Answer or Wrong Answer?
“Every day I call to You, my God, but You do not answer. Every night You hear my voice, but I find no relief.” (Psalm 22:2 NLT) Why is prayer so hard sometimes? David (above) cried out to God, but sensed no relief, no answer from the Lord. Silence from heaven can be crippling, yet,Continue reading “No Answer or Wrong Answer?”
The Limitless Love of God
“Then Peter came to Him and asked, ‘Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?’ ‘No, not seven times,’ Jesus replied, ‘but seventy times seven!’” (Matthew 18:21-22 NLT) Without love there can be no forgiveness. To say we forgive and to forgive can be two very different things. It takesContinue reading “The Limitless Love of God”
Useful or Glorious?
“Who is like You among the gods, O Lord – glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, performing great wonders?” (Exodus 15:11 NLT) How do you view God? Do you love Him? Need Him?
