Have you ever been in prayer and suddenly had the disturbing sensation that God simply wasn't listening?It's happened to all of us. But few of us know just what to do about it.

God isn't against your having money. He's against money having you. He's against your making it your priority and putting your trust in it instead of in Him.Why?

How much love do you have for sinners?That may sound like a strange question, but it's one I want you to think about today. All too often, once we get saved and get our lives cleaned up a little bit, we lose our compassion for those who are still lost. We look at the drunk - Page 2Read More

Whenever you find yourself stumbling into failure or sin, check your love life. Sit down with the Lord and ask Him to show you if you're in strife with anyone or if you've taken offense.

There is nothing--absolutely nothing--that is more important than learning to love. In fact, how accurately you perfect the love walk will determine how much of the perfect will of God you accomplish. That's because every other spiritual force derives its action from love.
