Most people do not realize how spiritually unhealthy they are and how that affects every area of their lives. The healthy Christian life is attainable if you pursue the truth of the Scripture and apply it to your life. As a Christian, the grace and life of God is already inside you. Learn to practice those truths that will keep you strong in him. My desire is that you not only have a healthy Christian life and receive all the benefits that come from that, but also to be such an example that you inspire your family, friends, coworkers, and acquaintances to want to know him more.

Did you know that God isn't expecting you to clean up your life? Shocking right? God's goal for you goes so much deeper than your actions, his goal is to give you something most people dream of...new life. All of us have things in our past that we are not proud of. We probably have some things in our present we aren't too fond of either. What if God's plan for you was to let the past be the past...literally count the old you who messed up as dead, and let a new, better you be reborn. Well, that is his plan! This book holds the best news I have ever heard.

We don't have to settle for dull, boring routine Christianity. We can keep on going and growing with God every day of our life. No more monotony. No more frustration. No more playing church. The real thing. We get there by staying hungry.

The Anointing of the Holy Spirit has both power and pitfalls that we will examine. Thank God that we all can learn how to “be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” With the armour of God and the anointing He gives, we are able to stand against all the wiles of the devil and come out victorious!

This short book is a description of the vision the Lord gave me about what is messing with the churches and ministries in America and why they can't seem to change. If I'm right, this is a horrifying state of things - far worse than anyone knows and far more hopeless. This is not about deliverance or about fighting Satan. This is about what God himself has done to us because of our disobedience.

God wants you to know, feel, and believe in his love and presence in your life each and every day—so don't put him off any longer!

Christmas is one of the most joyful times of year, and it can also be one of the most stressful. It comes laden with expectations and, for many, overshadowed by difficult memories and emotions. If every other day of the year has us running in different directions, driven by the bleeping demands of our phones and devices, Christmas makes us run faster still.

The Bible teaches us that we are to love our neighbors and even our enemies. In fact, Jesus said that this would be a distinguishing characteristic of his followers. In Love Is the Answer, Pastor Rick White walks us through 1 Corinthians 13, the love chapter. Pastor Rick will show scripturally how we can represent this love in our day to day lives.

Here is a compelling tract for our times, addressed to evangelicals, designed to set the agenda for the coming years. It calls for presenting Christ credibly to the 21st century, rehabilitating the term "evangelical" to mean good news, and engaging in spiritual and social transformation.

The principal crime of the human race, the highest guilt charged upon the world, the whole procuring cause of judgment, is idolatry. Do you inquire whom he has slain? If it contributes ought to the aggravation of the indictment, no stranger nor personal enemy, but his own self. By what snares? Those of his error. By what weapon? The offense done to God. By how many blows? As many as are his idolatries.

And so he gathered together a people for himself, and fostered them with many liberal distributions of his bounty, and, after so often finding them most ungrateful, ever exhorted them to repentance and sent out the voices of the universal company of the prophets to prophesy. By and by, promising freely the grace which in the last times he was intending to pour as a flood of light on the universal world through his Spirit, he bade the baptism of repentance lead the way.

An illuminating example of friendship as a vital way God answers our need for guidance, encouragement, affirmation, and correction. Most of the time, what we need to help us through the struggles in our lives is not the advice of an expert but the wisdom of a friend. Through this series of...

Dreams are something very prominent within the Bible. You will find God encountering us through dreams from the beginning in Genesis to the end in Revelation. Dreams are not limited to Biblical times, but are just as much for the church today as for the people of the past.

If our oneness was not important, Yahshua would not have declared and decreed it prior to His death, burial and resurrection. If our oneness is optional then we will never be one. My question is, how can we continue to support, foster, and even celebrate our division and relational dysfunction?
