Devotions
Faith Cometh by Hearing
"Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Rom. 10:17). One of the greatest healing evangelists I've ever known once said to me, "I don't understand it. I have laid hands on more than 2 million people. I've seen miracles of every description. But...
The Hidden Man of the Heart
But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. (1 Peter 3:4)In my prayer lines, I sometimes have to say to people, "God's healing power went...
From This Day Forward
"From this day forward, I will bless you" (Haggai 2:19). Have you seen the commercial slogan which asks the penetrating question, "Eventually, why not now?" Properly understood and applied, the message of that slogan can change our lives. There is a day of...
Growing Up In the Love of God
"But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ" (Eph. 4:15 KJV). God wants the church of the Lord Jesus Christ to grow in the area of walking in love. And I encourage you today to let God's work of love flow...

Giving Back To God
It’s plain to see that wisdom and understanding are not common in our society today. While it is available to anyone who will pursue it, there are few who have realized its value. Solomon was one who saw the value of godly wisdom and understanding enough to pursue...
How to Eliminate Frustration
There are several causes for frustration, but the greatest one that I have ever encountered is having more people to see, more meetings to attend, more decisions to make, more places to go, more sermons to write, more classes to teach, more buildings to build than...
Minister to the World, But Don’t Live There
"But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us" (2 Thess. 3:6). There is a principle in the Word of God that I call increase...
Get Ready to Go
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations …. Matthew 28:19 KJV Once I was talking with a man from a particular Pentecostal denomination (a denomination that puts little emphasis on teaching the saints and bringing them to maturity but strongly emphasizes evangelism)...
