In 1973, Dennis and I were living in California and in the midst of planning our wedding. As we made our plans, it became clear to both of us that right after the wedding, God wanted us to attend 14 days of meetings Kenneth Copeland was having in Fort Worth, Texas....
From the arid land of modern Iraq came a man whose significance can scarcely be rivaled. Abraham has been one of the most influential people in all of history. Arabs, Jews, and Christians all look to him as the father of their faith. At a very key moment in his...
If we were to give the story in Luke 15 a proper title, we’d call it “the prodigal father” instead of “the prodigal son.” You see, the word “prodigal” doesn’t mean to be rebellious, it means to be lavish. Of course, the son did waste his inheritance on lavish...
Resurrection life means we know we don’t need to get free, we already are free. Satan’s work has already been defeated by Jesus’ finished work on the Cross and His resurrection from the dead. That means countless Christians are living in some form of bondage from...
