As we approach this season of Thanksgiving, I have been reminded again of how the Lord deals with His people. There are many things we associate with Thanksgiving—family gatherings, meals, and time set aside for reflection—but the Bible reveals that thanksgiving is far more than a holiday observance. It is a spiritual action that positions […]
How Bad Company Corrupts Good Character
Even though I spent over ten years of my life behind prison bars, I started off right. Aunt Rosie started taking me to Gentian Baptist Church when I was little. I learned all the things you would learn going to church at that age. I learned all about Jesus and the Roman road to salvation. […]
Receiving the Glory
Many times we pray for God to send the glory. It’s understandable. We don’t see it, so God must not have sent it, and since He is the one that has it, we need to request that He send it. But there’s a problem in that thinking. Yes, we desire to be in the middle […]
Making Spiritual Things Real in Life
We live in a natural world. We have natural things to manage, schedules to keep, and require certain things to naturally survive in this world. Because everything around us is natural, it pushes us to overlook the spiritual. That’s a risk that many Christians must face and deal with. The natural world can easily overshadow […]
The Spiritual Protocol for Today

Could This Be Why Your Faith Isn’t Producing Results?
Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin was reading through the Bible one time when the Lord stopped him and gave him a revelation on Mark 11:23. You might have heard this before, but it bears repetition.

From Dropout to 4.0 – Here’s How
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. – James 1:5 KJV I remember entering Bible School on the first day of class and wondering what I was going to do. The instructors were using these $40 […]

Apostles and Prophets
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.
