The classic story of the three little pigs was always so clear to me. The wolf was the bad guy, as the aggressor, and the pigs were the good guys, the victims. Then in 1996 came a bombshell: a tell-all book called “The True Story of the Three Little Pigs”—written by the wolf. In the […]
“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit” (2 Corinthians 3:17-18, NIV) Who doesn’t want to be […]

In the biblical book of Judges, we read about how one tribe, the Ephraimites, insulted the Gileadites, who in turn fought against the Ephraimites and captured the entrances back into their territory.

Prayer & Fasting: Moving with the spirit to renew our minds, bodies, and churches
This book is for Christians who are waking up from the uneasy peace churches have made with the way things are. The modern church’s contentedness in maintaining membership rolls doesn’t compare with the early church’s zeal for spreading the gospel far and wide. For Christians ready for revival, it’s time to reintroduce serious prayer and fasting—not as sporadic irregularities but as serious habits.
“Many churches are either not talking about what the Bible teaches about divorce or they give confusing answers.”
If you personally trust and follow Jesus, it’s important to know what the Bible says about how we live our lives. This includes knowing what the Bible says about marriage and divorce. God gave humanity Scripture as our sure guide to knowing how to truly trust and follow Jesus (2 Tim. 3:16-4:5). If we carefully attach ourselves to the teachings of Scripture, they will help us to see more clearly.
