Religion verses Relationship As Christians we smugly say, “It’s not about religion, it’s about a relationship.” And while this is true, what we’ve forgotten is that we’ve so abused this relationship we’ve turned what was once a relationship into a religion. Jesus said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” (John 14:15) We say we […]
When God’s Fire Falls John Whitehead, president and founder of the Rutherford Institute, said, “If there isn’t a revival in this country of some sort … we’re moving toward a state that would be very much like pagan Rome.” There’s a truth that if people were left to their own devices, and free to choose […]
It’s Time To Get Right The Lord desires that we do some heart changing and soul cleansing in a beautiful and haunting Scripture. It’s a Scripture that speaks as powerfully as the one we often quote in bringing revival to the land. “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and […]

Holiness is a key component, not only in the House of God, as Psalm 93:5 says, “Holiness adorns Your house,” but also in the heart of God’s people.

Let’s Start Paying Attention Manasseh did evil in the sight of the Lord according to the nations God had kicked out of the Promised Land long ago. “He did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel. For […]
God’s Pattern for Spiritual Revival and Awakening When God awakens His people, lives are radically changed. It is during these times of revival followed by a spiritual awakening that major reforms happen. People begin to put off their old life of sin and put on a brand new life in Christ, 2 Corinthians 5:17. Jesus’ […]
Try Tears “When they raised their eyes from afar, and did not recognize him, they lifted their voices and wept; and each one tore his robe and sprinkled dust on his head toward heaven.” (Job 2:12 NKJV) Job had lost everything. His sons and daughters lost their lives when a great wind collapsed the house […]
Getting Out of the Rut One of the Christian’s biggest enemies is coming to the place where everything is predictable, customary, and routine.
