O God, behold our shield, And look upon the face of Your anointed. For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.

Sing With the Spirit

For if I pray in tongues, my spirit is praying, but I don't understand what I am saying. Well then, what shall I do? I will pray in the spirit, and I will also pray in words I understand.

Signs that Make You Wonder

"And God confirmed the message by giving signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit whenever He chose."  (Hebrews 2:4 NLT) Advertise Your Attractions I have a fascination with interesting signs.

Avoiding Vain Repetition

It's just part of our nature.  When we let patterns continue without regard to their meaning, we have vain … Continue reading Avoiding Vain Repetition

Out of the Abundance of the Heart

  Building People of Substance for Works of Power Don’t do this alone, Amigos. We had a great men’s gathering this past weekend.
