God loves to find His children yearning after Him and seeking His presence. Please find encouragement here to embrace that quest.
We talk of revival as if it were an earthly thing. But to a God-fearing, God-seeking soul, it can only mean a new flood of God´s Spirit pouring over those seeking Him. If the revival we seek is to increase the number of people in our church services, we are seeking something less. If revival... Continue Reading →
If you go too long without food, you will know. Hunger is powerful. It can provide the motivation we need to seek. We use it a lot when we talk about achieving goals. Cultivating and using that hunger gets results. So, when we turn our thoughts to God, it becomes a game-breaking asset. Those who... Continue Reading →
Nowhere in the Bible will you find encouragement for people to stop trying to improve. The Scriptures speak to people who want to. You can find commandments, stories, and prophecies, all intended to help us. Yet there is one clear outcome to this underlying need to improve. It is not to better us in our... Continue Reading →
