We are accepted by God not because we do everything right. No one does everything right. No, we are accepted by our Heavenly Father because we come to Him in faith. Our rightstanding before Him is a free gift. In Galatians 3:26, the Apostle Paul said, “For you are...
As joint heirs with Jesus, we have access to everything His Kingdom has provided. His love now fills us, and His Spirit now leads us. Sonship frees us from fear and gives us the confidence to call God our Father. We have entered into the same inheritance that Jesus...
From the very beginning of Jesus’ ministry, He startled the religious leaders with His references to God. Jesus introduced a new terminology as He spoke about God by calling Him Father. Although the idea of God as Father is found in the Old Testament, it was never...
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....
