Tap here to send us a message! There are many in the church that are chronically limiting their response to convicting messages. Plenty of tears are shed, and even commitments made in response, but people still resist surrendering completely to Jesus to make Him their Lord. Jesus is our ultimate example of surrender, signaling that the continual surrendering of our will is crucial for a Christian....

Tap here to send us a message! One of the most important aspects of any army is that all of its members are in alignment with their leadership and with one another.

We are to walk in step with God's orders and His leadership to be part of...

Tap here to send us a message! It is a true statement that what you follow will eventually begin to follow you. This is true of sin, but it is also true of the things of God.

Tap here to send us a message! Regardless of what those in the world wish to believe, it is a fact that what we surround ourselves with will affect our relationship with God. The question with each influence should be this: does this help me live for God or not? We are to be separated unto God and set apart for His use, thus, we must be very careful what we allow into our lives.  07/06/2023 - Thur...

Tap here to send us a message! The church needs a revival of saints of God who simply know how to walk after Him.

Tap here to send us a message! The story of Hagar in Genesis 21 reminds us that God knows our every affliction. Many of the circumstances that we face in life can become so difficult that we can't even vocalize our struggles and fears.

Tap here to send us a message! Every piece of revelation that we can gain of God’s nature will help us in our walk with Him.

Tap here to send us a message! Cain posed one of the ultimate Christian living questions when he asked: "Am I my brother's keeper?"

Tap here to send us a message! A soul is never lost in a moment, but there is a gradual loosening of convictions that eventually paves the road to walking away from God.

The enemy will come through the smallest of doorways, so we must ensure that we don’t become “loose” in our convictions and give no place to the devil.  06/11/2...

Tap here to send us a message! The Prophet Micah used a beautiful word picture to describe the redemptive lift of God’s mercy.

Tap here to send us a message! While traveling on “the highway of holiness,” we must be aware that there is a ditch on either side of the road.

Tap here to send us a message! God’s Word is written in such a way that only the truly hungry can receive real revelation. As He builds His Word, He hides Himself within the pages of each book.

Tap here to send us a message! There is something to be said about someone who dies with a burning desire still in their heart.
