Super Strength
“Then Samson called to the Lord, saying, ‘O Lord God, remember me, I pray! Strengthen me, pray, just this once, O God, that I may with one blow take vengeance of the Philistines for my two eyes!’ Judges 16:28, NKJV.“Samson asked for physical strength because he was fighting flesh andblood enemies. Christians ask for spiritual…

“Hope for the Fearful – Peace, Be Still”
“The disciple did everything they could do that night on the stormy sea. They were hardly fishermen who had lived all their lives on the shores of this lake. They Knew Galilee. They knew the hills and the winds and the storms. They knew about big waves and how to keep their boat…

“The Time of trouble – Strength for the Hour”
“Here’s a point worth nothing: The courage and the fortitude of the martyrs is not given to anyone until it’s needed. So don’t read your children bedtime stories from Fox’s Book of Martyrs! (And don’t dwell on it yourself, either.) Thinking about the possibilities could panic even the most godly person in the…

“The Wrong Focus”
“Most processed Christians believe that in ‘living the Christian life’ we must strive to be good, and we’ve done all we can, Christ will come too our aid and help us do the rest. This confused idea of obedience (partly by our own works and partly by…

“Which is more important – revival or reformation?’ That’s a loaded question. It’s like asking which is more important, eating or growing? Love or marriage? Obviously, both are important! One simply is the cause of the other. ” Now let’s get priorities straight. A revival of true Godliness among us…

Finishing His Work
“We can be thankful that according to Romans 9:28, God is going to finish His work, not us. We’ve done a pretty sloppy job of it. How do I know the Christian church hasn’t finished God’s work? How do I know we haven’t hastened His coming? Because we are still here! ‘Oh,’…

“Atlanta 2010: An Experience”
Having been raised in a Seventh-day Adventist home and as a member of the Seventh-day Adventist church, it had been my dream to be able to attend a General Conference Session. It, to me, was like a Muslim desiring to go to a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in his/her lifetime. That dream for…
