Get That Bulldog, Never-Let-Go Kind of Faith
“Walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Cor. 5:7). When I think of the spiritual tenacity we’ll need in the days ahead, I think of a story I once read about a young man who was in pilot training during World War II. He was a bomber pilot training on the...
Jesus, My Intercessor
“… It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.” (Rom. 8:34) Jesus Christ is at the throne of God at this very moment interceding for each of us. He never grows...
Is Healing for All?
He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. (Ps. 105:37) To answer the question, “Is healing for all?” let’s look in Exodus 15. Just after the Israelites passed through the Red Sea...

Ask and Believe
John the Baptist demonstrated the power of the spoken word when he cried, ‘Clear the way through the wilderness for the Lord! Make a straight highway through the wasteland for our God!’” (Isaiah 40:3 NLT). The good news is that you and I also have voices that can...
Breaking The Cycle of Pain
“A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger” (Prov. 15:1 KJV). Yesterday I was interviewed by some students for a government class at Cass Tech High School. They asked some seriously intelligent questions. They were some very...
