Smith Wigglesworth on the Ministry of the Word
“By the grace of God I want to impart the Word, and bring you into a place where you will dare to act upon the plan of the Word, to so breathe life by the power of the Word that it is impossible for you to go on under any circumstances without his provision. The most difficult things that come…

Hard Work
Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don’t recognize them. (Ann Landers) “We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.” (Chuck Swindoll) In our spiritual lives there are times of breakthrough, and that means some tough work. It means tough work in prayer. It means tough work in all kinds…

Speaking Truth Has Little to do with Response
That said, it is still up to us as believers to take up the admonition to speak the truth in love. That still may not go well, but it does not release us into the depths of this world’s system of “taking it to the man” (or whatever phrase they are using these days). But when we communicate truth, the…

Being Hard Headed
It’s okay to be hard-headed! Hallelujah! Stubborn. Immovable. It’s biblical! 8 I’ve now hardened your face so that you can meet them head-on. 9 I’ve made your forehead like a diamond, harder than stone.

Chuck Colson
Chuck Colson has passed away. The media, of course, begins with the statement that he was Nixon’s “hatchet man” in the Watergate era. The media may call him a “hatchet man,” but then they typically do a hatchet job, depicting Colson as “reinventing” himself. Colson was transformed by the power of Jesus Christ. He then turned to help others see the…

Happy Birthday, A.W. Tozer
Today apparently is the birthday of A.W. Tozer. Some great Tozer quotes: “One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organization do not constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team.” “I want the presence of God Himself, or I don’t want anything at all to do with religion… I want all that…

Isn’t It Time to Get in the Game?
17 No weapon fashioned against you will succeed, and you may condemn every tongue that disputes with you. This is the heritage of the Lord’s servants, whose righteousness comes from me, says the Lord. (Isa. 54:17, CEB) It’s time to “come home.” It’s time to put aside the shame. No more humiliation. Isn’t it time to let go of the past failures and…
