How many of my brothers and sisters in Christ want to join together to displace the evil in our cities, states, and nation? How many of you want to see every young child, man, and woman filled with the Spirit walking in the fear of the Lord? How many...
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,”declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth,so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isa. 55:8-9) Would you risk your life to save the terrorist who is...
One of the reasons the Church does not have much of an influence on culture is because she is in bed with it. Just think, when it comes to the reality of global governance/political corruption most are apathetic and do not understand it’s significance–or out of ignorance, support those...
Two problems man has: 1. Not knowing and understanding how twisted and heinous his nature is. 2. Not knowing and understanding how good, loving, and glorious God is. The Gospel reveals all of the above. Due to our nature of being opposed to God’s righteousness, we deserve to be...

Satan’s Spiritual Strategy? Something hit me recently about New England. It is no secret that New England is a very difficult place to minister the gospel, if not the most difficult in the nation. Five out of the six New England states have been designated as “least religious in...
While reading Paul’s writings, I noticed a frequent problem that he addressed in the churches he planted. The problem was Jewish myths and speculations.
