The Power of Thanksgiving
Psalm 100:4-5 “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations” These are iconic verses. Yet, we often don’t practice them!

The Rise of the Mordecai’s
Revelations 2:13 “‘I know where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.” We don’t wrestle against flesh and blood but against spirits of wickedness in the heavenly places. […]
Wars and Rumors of Wars!
Matthew 24:6 “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed.

The Suddenlies of God
Malachi 3:1 “I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me.

Courage for Tomorrow, Faith for Today, & Hope for a Future
[This article is the Foreword by Kris Vallotton for James W. Goll’s book, Tell Your Heart to Sing Again.] Historically, the church has not always excelled at walking with people through their pain. We know how to rejoice with those who rejoice, yet we often fall short of Christ’s standard when it comes to mourning with […]
Praying Your Family into God’s Kingdom
“Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” Acts 16:31 You and your household. Wow!
