James 1:5 says if any of you lacks wisdom, then you need to ask the Father and the Father will give it to you. Then it goes on to say that when you ask, you need to ask in faith without doubting, for he who doubts is like the waves of a sea, tossed and driven by...

I have received several letters asking me generally this one question. "Why do you talk about faith so much?" Well, the reason I try to study and talk about faith so much is because Jesus did. And I want to be like Him. Let me explain. When the winds of the sea...

Every Christian should have a vision of what God has for them to do in their life. It is very satisfying to have a goal that you know is important. And when you accomplish that goal, you can look at your accomplishment in peace. However, in churches around the...

A few weeks ago I was talking with a man about the Bible. In the conversation he brought up a certain well-known minister and started making fun of him. He thought it was funny because this particular minister taught healing. Then he started going through the usual...

Anytime somebody tells you something amazing, it can be difficult to believe at first. I remember where I was standing in the hallway in high school at Raytown South High School when I found out President Kennedy had been shot. I remember my reaction. The first...

In John 8:31-32, Jesus said, "If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." One reason I quote this verse so often is because it typifies God's will for you. God's will is that you be set...

What you say is important. In fact, the words that come from your mouth today shape your world tomorrow. Your words can bring prosperity and health or they can bring poverty and death. According to the Bible, the words you speak can and will shape your life....
