The Hem of His Garment

[Enter Post Title Here] Praise the Lord everybody. I haven't written much on this trip, I guess because all the exotic stuff about being in Africa is becoming routine. Even the excitement that we have in services here is ... I don't want to say routine, but I've had a thousand or more services like this and how many times can you tell the same ...
The Word of Our Testimony

One of the main issues that I stress in my Revival Meetings is the absolute necessity of winning souls. Revival is not about us feeling good or having real Spirit-filled services – it is first, last, and always about winning the lost. That is the true purpose for revival. Turning the focus of the Church off ourselves and onto saving others is t...
The Dread of God

" ... let not thy dread make me afraid." (Job 13:21) Throughout the years, I've witnessed the struggle to define what the Fear of God really is ... and what it is not. A friend of mine has said that people will follow their hearts, and so it is with how people define what the Fear of God is to them. The expanse of extremes range from th...

It's been a while since I've posted to my newsletter/blog. After coming home from Uganda, I have been going through a period of still waters while waiting for the next call. During that time, I've listened to of the many streams of Christian dialogue that run in every direction. Some are focused on the threat of Islam and Sharia Law to our America...
Fat and Lazy

"... I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing ..." (Rev 3:17) I was at a High School baseball game last night, and as I was looking around at the crowd, I noticed how many people were fat. Not just "beefy" or "heavy", but plain ol' fat! This is not an isolated scene, but is endemic across America. How'd we get so fat? I don...
Turned Unto Fables

“A religion of mere emotion and sensationalism is the most terrible of all curses that can come upon any people. The absence of reality is sad enough, but the aggravation of pretence is a deadly sin.” - Samuel Chadwick Sound like any of the churches you’ve been to lately? Or like some of the televangelists that swarm the airwaves...
Answering a Fool in his Folly

February 06th, 201103:48 PM ET

By Dale Garris

Recently, on two separate occasions, I have been approached by two old acquaintances who have wanted to enlighten me into deeper understandings. These two men are polar opposites in their beliefs but both had the same intent. Like Job's comforters, they were just trying to help. One is what I call an armchair theologian. You know the type – they...
New Wine

Lately, I’ve been putting together some video clips from my last trip to Uganda to post on my website. Watching them reminded me how great it felt to be in those services. That, and what a contrast they were to the services here back in the USA last Sunday. What a difference! When I share these videos of wildly exuberant praise...

" Thus saith the Lord God; woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!" Ezekiel 13:3 About now, I'm sure you've had your fill of all the prophesies for this new year. This is going to be the year that God is going to do this and do that, move here and move there. This is the year of your deliverance, of...
the Substance of Faith

December 14th, 201002:01 PM ET

By Dale Garris

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1) I had an incredible experience last night. Lately, I have been wondering what it is that makes the gift of healing work. There seems to be something fundamental that I am not understanding about it. Why does it work sometimes, and som...
