The Power
Years ago as a new Christian, preachers often told us the church had lost its power. Unbelief or lack of faith was the suggested problem back then. Today as I look at the Western church, it seems that lots of people within don’t know there is such a power to lose! To me that suggests ignorance is …

I was testing your faith
It was pouring with rain as I stood at the doorstep under my umbrella talking with the man. Perhaps in his early thirties, he told me he’d done a lot of reading in recent times and was very proud to tell me that he’d, “read the Bible from cover to cover.” However, he said that he couldn’t …
