Read MoreDon’t Divorce Christ
I love the local church. From Acts 2 to Revelation 3, the Bible is about the local church, written to the local church, or written in the context of the local church. God gave us the local church as his plan A for his mission on earth, and he did not give us a plan…
Read MoreYe have need of … ENDURANCE!
“For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.” Hebrews 10:36 Endurance means the ability to bear up under trials and difficulties.

Learning to listen to God is as important as learning to talk to Him—if not more so. Generally, we find it much easier…
