    Why the battle cry of Isaiah is for this time

    Although it is God who fills us, we must yield. He empowers, but we must surrender. He awakens, but we must repent. Let Isaiah’s battle cry become your battle cry and watch what God does in and through you — arise and shine.

  • You hurt me! Now what?

    You hurt me! Now what?

    Be encouraged: God sees your heart and will reward you based on your actions, not the actions of the other person. You can’t change them, but you can change yourself.

    Encountering storms even in the center of God's will

    Spiritual explosion — 'my eyes have seen the king'

    Shootings, sin, suffering: What can turn America around?

    The decadence and depravity we are seeing in America today is astounding and overwhelming. Are we too far gone? Have we reached the point of no return? Is there any hope? With God, there is always hope, but it will involve focused prayer, intentional fasting, and genuine perseverance — “But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded” (2 Chronicles 15:7).

    America — weak and woke. We need more prophets, not puppets.

    Whether you’re on the Right or the Left, you must be on the right side of God’s Word.

    Top 5 health tips to conquer being overweight

    The key to a productive, well-balanced life is spiritual health. To deal with disease, discouragement, and stress without a relationship with God is futile. Productive longevity is a good goal, but without spiritual health, a healthy body has little significance.
