There is a true story I have read of a place in the Middle East where a merchant was traveling with his goods and possessions. He traveled through dangerous places where bands of raiders would attack these traveling merchant groups, rob them or even kill them. As the story goes, a band of raiders …

In case you haven’t noticed, this world around us is changing, and doing so rapidly. It’s not always for the good, either. We are now experiencing what is known as the last days. God is at work to get His people’s attention before that day where, in the twinkling of an eye (as 1 Corinthians 15:52 …

God knows all about you (but are you sure you know all about him?) Almost everyone believes in God, and many people also believe they know God. But how well do they? As far as God goes, there’s nothing He already doesn’t know: past, present, and future. You can do nothing without God knowing every …

Prayer is not an exercise; it is the most powerful way of worship when done from a heart that is seeking God’s way in ones life. Jesus told his disciples in Matthew 16:19 that He has given the very keys to heaven and that they can unlock the very power and resources we need; it all begins in …
