I’ll never forget the first scripture that I memorized. I was 21 at the time, newly saved and knew almost nothing about the Bible. I knew that I needed to make some changes. My mind needed to be transformed and renewed through the Word of God. I needed the...
After His resurrection, Jesus told the disciples about an adventure that they were about to begin. They were about to be dressed in readiness by the Holy Spirit. Luke 24:49 says, “Behold I am sending forth the promise, stay until you are clothed with power...
Being a Christian parent is hard work. It’s blood, sweat, and tears. But, praise God, He has given you some powerful weapons to help you be victorious in raising your children for Him. One of the most important things you can do for your kids is to pray for...
Don’t wait until trouble comes. Start now to undergird your children with the strong power of prayer. No matter how young or how old they are, they will benefit from your prayers. First of all, pray for your children’s salvation. Then pray concerning...
