There’s a lot of social noise being made in our world. Each voice in the noisy crowd demands that we follow its agenda. When the increasing noise of a fearful crowd reaches a fever pitch, the Lord is asking us to pay special attention to His voice. The noise indicates...
In the nation of Iran, citizens are revolting against the ungodly government that has been controlling their lives. The leaders of the government of Iran have locked down the Internet to reduce exposure of their evil. The situation has arrived at a turning point....
This morning, I prayed for the widows in my life. Each of these women had husbands who were friends of mine. They are living as women of God, each one serving the Lord in their unique way. When my father died, my mother lived another twenty years after his death. Jan...
