“How much better is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your oils than any spice!” (Song of Solomon 4:10b)
“And I will show you a still more excellent way.” (1 Corinthians 12:31b)
In the opening of the Song of Solomon—my favorite book in the Old Testament—the Shulammite shepherdess states of her lover that his love is better than wine (SoS 1:2). Then, midway through the song when he speaks of what fascinates him about her, we’re told the same... Read Full Story
A call to action by evangelist Fabian Grech.
Here are some alarming truths about how many are still unreached with gospel of Jesus Christ!
The world population is about 6.70 billion. The population among the unreached people groups is about 2.74 billion – that is 40.9% of the world’s population. Can you imagine over 2 billion people who know no one who can show them Jesus? That is 1 out of 3 people!
Most of the people are in Asia, Middle East and North Africa. Most of these peop... Read Full Story
There are many people in the body of Christ who are asking God these two questions:
“WHY? Why have I been prayed for to be healed, and yet, I’m still suffering?”
“WHEN? When, Lord, will I be healed?”
Perhaps some of you reading this have asked these two questions.
You have requested prayer. The pastor or a visiting evangelist laid hands on you for healing, but you stayed the same as before. You cannot help but wonder, “Why?”
You see in the scriptures... Read Full Story
All were made to drink of one Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:13
They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights. Psalm 36:8
Sorry about the attention-grabbing title. Hopefully I can explain myself in this post. I think this is one of the most neglected and fun aspects of New Testament Christianity.
These men are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. Acts 2:15
And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debaucher... Read Full Story
Editor’s note: Britt Williams is the pastor of Consuming Fire Fellowship, in Woodville Mississippi. The following article is something I came across on Facebook when several of my contacts posted this article on their profiles. I was challenged and convicted by many of the points, and though we don’t agree with every point or feel that some of the ministry methods the author engages in are of our personal preference or style, we did feel enough in common with this article to s...

Ephesians 4b-Learning to Walk in a Mature Manner
1. 4:17-24 Walking in Maturity 1 – What Goes In
a. In context with verse 15, which stated that we grow up in all aspects, I believe this next section deals with some aspects that can hinder our growth if we do not deal with them and grow out of them. What goes in: Verses 17-24 deal with things that we allow into our lives, minds, and spirits, that influence us. I title the next section, vv 25-32, What Comes Out. This pertains to how we influe...

“For I will pour out water on the thirsty land
And streams on the dry ground;
I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring
And My blessing on your descendants.” -Is. 44.3
Of this verse, the “good pastor” Robert Murray McCheyne once remarked:
There are no other words in the whole Bible that have been oftener in my heart and oftener on my tongue than these.
The passage applies directly to Israel, but the principle of the promise can be applied to all contexts where the... Read Full Story

“…. the Jerusalem which is above is free….” -Gal. 4.26a
“For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his own works….” -Heb. 4.10
There is a sabbath rest which has been opened up to God’s people through the cross, and we need to resist all religious activity that flows from any other place. Even prayer itself is subject to lesser and unheavenly influences, for if our intercessions spring from our own emotions or minds, or a... Read Full Story
