A voice from the past is now speaking to the Church of today. His words carry a somber reminder of who we have become and what must be done before we can experience true revival. A teacher and evangelist named Leonard Ravenhill addressed the condition of the Church in...
Living a life that pleases God has powerful implications. When Scripture tells us that God covers His people with His hand, it means His hand becomes a protective covering for us if we live a life that pleases Him. If we choose to step away from His extended hand and...
I noticed something about our cat. She likes to find a high place from which to survey her world. She demonstrates to me what life in the Spirit looks like when we view what is happening in our world from a higher perspective. From that high place, we can begin to...

We are living in a time when we need to put our trust in the power of God’s presence. The presence of God expressed through His people is what raises concern in the kingdom of darkness. Psalm 114 began by reminding Israel of their miraculous escapes when the...
A couple of years ago, I was awakened in the middle of the night by what sounded like full auto gunfire near our home. I sprung out of bed and went into full tactical mode gearing up with what I needed to protect my family not knowing where the gunfire was coming...
