Are able to submit to God fully

That’s me and my two-year-old grandson Brian Strong on the right. Briar has cancer. But he also has thousands of people PRAYING for his recovery. And God is answering those prayers. First with the successful removal of a one-pound tumor from his 24-lb frame. And now through the first three weeks of chemotherapy and radiation […]

It’s time to confront one of the biggest challenges facing Christians everywhere on planet earth: Many of us struggle mightily to ingest God’s Word and then transport its promises and power to our head.

     I have been sensing from this ministry’s global online tribe that there is a growing trend among Christians to retreat and ISOLATE when life gets tough.

His transformation was as radical as it gets: He went from being a Christian-hater to becoming one of Christianity’s greatest voices for God.        “Instantly something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he got up and was baptized.” Acts 9:18        The one who was

I was falling prey to “Satan’s Veil” and knew I had only seconds to choose! The enemy’s number-one goal is to separate us from the source of life—Jesus Christ—and he uses three tactics to veil our judgment and accomplish his wicked schemes: A strained relationship with our Savior.
