God Save America

July 03rd, 201002:39 PM ET

By Michael Youssef

I am concerned for America. I am deeply concerned for Christians in America. While God is on the throne, is sovereign, and has assured us that He will protect His children, we are facing a tsunami of change in this country like none I have ever witnessed in my lifetime. Today, there is an all-out assault on Christians and our faith. Christians ha...
Freedom From Fear - The Antidote to Fear

Have you ever driven down the highway and noticed that your "check engine" light was on? Even if there was no strange engine noise or visible smoke, you knew the warning light meant something was wrong - and most likely you immediately took the car to your mechanic. Why? Because you knew that the warning light was connected to the engine. Even th...
Can There Be a Christian Nation?

By Michael Youssef

Recently I was challenged by a dear friend over the use of the phrase "Christian nation." His question was: "How can you say America is a Christian Nation?" "How can a country be Christian?" In many ways he is right. A country, or even a culture, cannot be Christian - only individuals can be Christians. When people speak of America's Christian h...
First Impressions

I'm sitting here at a sidewalk café overlooking the ocean enjoying the morning breeze. Cape Verde - or Cabo Verde as they like to say it here - is just what I thought a tropical resort island would be like. The air is clean and very clear, the sun is strong, and there is a faint wisp of that tropical feeling. The houses are...
The Wharf

While in the midst of a prayer meeting for revival one night, the Lord showed me something so disturbing that I hesitated to share it with the others there. We had gathered together in a home with a sincere desire to pray for revival in our area, but I noticed that the prayers only seemed to be directed to each other, their pastors, their churches,...
I Will That Men Pray

July 25th, 200904:44 PM ET

By Dale Garris

"I will therefore that men pray every where..." 1 Timothy 2:8 It has been said that preaching moves men, but prayer moves God. If that is the case, then it seems to me that we should do a lot more praying than preaching and a lot more time on our knees listening to God than sitting on our butts reading books. Why is it that praye...

Ol' Bill Done Woke Up!

May 31st, 200901:08 AM ET

By Dale Garris

Well, ol' Bill finally woke up. Ol' Bill comes to our little fellowship in the Pizza place in Maypearl. His son-in-law, Harry, is the pastor there - I say pastor, but it's just a little fellowship where a handful us gather on Sunday morning to praise the Lord and share the Word. I don't know if most folks would consider it church 'cause there's ...
