Pick Up The Cloak Of Elijah
I love to read about great men and women of God. How they touched their world with the power of the living God. When I read the story of Charles Finney, I found myself saying, “Where’s the Lord, the God of Finney?” Reading about Aimee Semple McPherson and Kathryn Kuhlman, my heart cried, “Where is…

Dad, what if your son followed your example?
Today, while working at one of the neighborhood malls, I happened to notice a young man, probably in his late twenties, walking hand in hand with his son (maybe four years old). I was thinking to myself, what a nice picture. A father taking time with his son. I thought maybe they were going to…
