God loved you long before you loved Him.
Hollywood movie producers know that the romantic notion of “love at first sight” makes for a good love story. In real life, however, it’s nothing more than “attraction at first sight.” Real love requires knowing–not just seeing–a person.
God didn’t love you at first sight, because he […]

Question: I am saved and was baptized in the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues, but it seems like I have lost it. I haven’t spoken in my prayer language in a long time, and I’m wondering if I am still filled with the Holy Spirit. Does the Holy […]

If you aren’t hearing the voice of God, your life may be too noisy.

People often wonder if God ever speaks in a voice we can hear. Absolutely. There are times when God speaks through other people in order to tell us something. And sometimes God will speak directly to us. So how […]

Either God made you or he didn’t.

The human body is the most complex organism in the universe. It would take a computer the size of the Empire State Building to duplicate the potential processing power of your brain (notice we said “potential”). The way your bones and muscles, your heart and blood vessels, […]
