Why we must Live Dead in prayer
“The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, he mocks at our wisdom, but he trembles when we pray.” — Samuel Chadwick

Tested by Fire
Over the past several weeks we have been in prayer for a missionary friends who has battled for his life. There are so many spiritual elements in the equation and the prayers of the saints have truly carried on a spiritual war. So much is at stake. It’s the life of a missionary. It’s a closed country. It’s the lives…

Let’s get engaged
Not this: But THIS: 4 Our weapons that we fight with aren’t human, but instead they are powered by God for the destruction of fortresses. They destroy arguments, 5 and every defense that is raised up to oppose the knowledge of God. They capture every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 Cor. 10:4-5) Let us become engaged once again…

Living Dead
There is an organization in missions called “Live Dead.” There is a new generation being called to go the hardest places of the world to proclaim and live out the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Of course MY view of the issue is absolutely correct
Pick this week’s hot topic (or one of several that have exploded this week) and we have simply managed to yell at one another. Every one of us are capable of grabbing our particular issues, holding on for dear life, and demanding 100 percent allegiance… and it goes all across the board. I have not really found ANY “voice” exempt…

Willing to hear
In our very divisive day, it is pretty much understood we won’t listen to each other anymore. My prayer today is that we not harden our hearts toward God. For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. O that today you would listen to his voice! (Ps. 95:7) Lord,…
