Growing Into Your Inheritance Far too many Christians are a mile wide, but only an inch deep. They stay on the edges of maturity, never fully entering the fullness of God’s inheritance. They started out well, but soon found themselves in a state of spiritual stagnation. While childhood is adorable, being a perpetual child is […]

Come Breath of Life Can these dry bones live? This was the question presented to the prophet Ezekiel when the Lord took him to the Valley of Dry Bones. The Lord told Ezekiel to say, “Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.” And the word of the Lord was, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, […]
