537: How to Hear from God Through His Word
One reason most Christians fail in their Bible study is the fact they have seldom, if ever, experienced God through His Word. Oh, they believe the Bible is the Word of God. And they believe what it says about itself, that it is “given by inspiration of God, and …

534: Whatever the Problem, the “Lord is Near”
Often, when tough times come, much like we are experiencing as a culture and as the church today, God seems distant. We pray, and receive no answer. We worship, only to feel alone. And when we attend church, it sometimes seems like something we do out of duty and …
533: Is There Something Better than Answered Prayer?

532: Pulling Back the Curtain of the Kingdom of God

“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
