Needed: Revival In America
Where will the next Great Awakening begin? Will it be somewhere in America? With every true revival, a great shaking of religious tradition occurs. Is it possible that the American Church will witness such a degree of shaking? Will the epicenter of the Holy Spirit induced shaking be a large denomination, or a small church…

An Allergic Reaction? A New Allergy?
Is it just my imagination, or are there a lot more allergies and medical conditions affecting people these days? Is it a sign of the times? I just learned of a new allergy condition today.

The Idiom Is True
There’s an old idiom which goes like this: “it takes all kinds to make the world go around”. I guess it’s referring to diversity. So the world goes around because it’s home for people of all colors, shapes, and sizes. But are there more categories? How many kinds of people are there; you know, the…

There’s a word used to describe a certain segment of the Church. Actually, there are a NUMBER of words used in describing the Body of Christ.

It’s Getting Late
“I’m bored.” “I don’t have anything to do!” “Honey, we NEED more TV channels.” “Life isn’t fair! People are making fun of me because I go to church on Sunday.” “God, You KNOW I must win the lottery! You know my needs. I promise, IF You’ll come through on this one, I will TITHE on…
