Our greatest failures are not the end of our faith. They can be the beginning of something much deeper if our hearts remain tender and responsive to God and open to His process of restoration. The restoration of Peter had similarities to his three denials of the Lord....
Predictions are different than revelation. Revelation comes from God and can run contrary to the wide variety of human predictions of what people think will happen in the future. Many times, revelation will stand alone, enduring the mockery and dismissal of the...
In times of natural warfare, debating is not an effective weapon. The same is true in times of spiritual warfare. At some point, the debate becomes ineffective, and we must abandon its appeal to continue lingering in the false promise of peace and enter the fight....
