The Apostle Paul told us in Hebrews 10:23-25, Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised;) and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves...

There is a tactic the devil uses and passes on from one generation to another. It is called "worry." My Grandma was a worrier, my Mom was worrier, and I was a worrier. And the line went a lot farther back than Granny. I even read that Job was a worrier too. In Job...

I'd like to write about something near and dear to my heart, and that is the tremendous authority the Lord has given each of us believers. So much of my time is spent ministering to Pastors and "weary warriors" that I feel it is necessary to address this subject....

So many Christians live their lives like a coin tossed into the air. Well, what's it going to be today? Heads, or tails? They often say, "You know how it is, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. You can't always be on the mountain, sometimes you gotta go through...

In today's world, we have opportunity to be offended every day, many times a day. Even before getting to work in the morning, the devil will send someone in your path to offend you, maybe cutting you off in traffic. And of course, your immediate response is "Bless...

While I was ministering at a church in Nigeria, they had their fourth anniversary celebration, and they had a big cake that looked like a church building with a big, tall steeple. Now, because there are a lot of bugs there, they had a cover over the cake. The heat,...
