1 Corinthians 2:9 (NKJV)
But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man,
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
It’s time for us to stop looking at the darkness so much, and now to look to the goodness of God. It’s time for us to start understanding the Gospel that we have already been given, which ...
So… what exactly is the Gospel?
If I were to ask a thousand believers, “What exactly is the Gospel?” many of them would hesitate, and smile with some slight embarrassment, and ask the question right back saying, “I’m not sure, what exactly is the Gospel?”

For Independence Day 2023
The Star Spangled Banner
O! say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the Rockets' red glare, the Bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our Fl...
God has a redemptive plan and is moving in the earth today.
Many people are feeling "justice sick" - meaning they see evil being done on large scale, but they see little or no justice concerning that evil. But God has a redemptive plan and I believe God is moving in the earth is such a powerful way that people will be healed from the lack of justice and there will be dancing and joy in the streets.

Praise for Rescue from Enemies - Psalm 124 NASB

Let Israel now say,
2 “Had it not been the LORD who was on our side

3 Then they would have swallowed us alive,
When their anger was kindled against us;
4 Then the waters would have engulfed us,
The stream would have swept over our soul; (Lit: passed over)

The days ahead - a prophetic word part 2
This is for the least to the greatest of us - based on the promise of Jeremiah 31:31-34:
“Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they ...

The True Message of the Gospel
This episode is about the essence of the gospel message that Paul taught in his letter to the Romans, and in almost all of his letters. This very gospel message was given to Paul by Jesus. As we meet and listen to the many beautiful people that we know love Jesus, we also see a need and a hunger to have this message of the gospel made even more clear. This gospel is the centerpiece of our ...
Let your words be few
Ecclesiastes 5:1-3 (NASB)
1 Guard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know they are doing evil.
2 Do not be hasty in word or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few.
3 For the dream comes through much effort and the...

8 “But as for you, Israel my servant, Jacob my chosen one, descended from Abraham my friend,
9 I have called you back from the ends of the earth, saying, ‘You are my servant.’ For I have chosen you and will not throw you away.

Loving God

If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

1 John 4:19 (NKJV)
We love Him because He first loved us.

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
