I woke up in the middle of the night and I heard a voice repeating the same thing repeatedly. It was a quiet but insistent voice and as I lay there waiting for something else it never came; just the same thing over and over. When I realized that the Lord was telling me something.… Read more

I want to take a few moments and look at one of the most important aspects of our Walk With God; making Jesus Lord of All. Many come to Him seeking salvation but little realize that in so doing they, by definition, are agreeing to make Him Lord of All. By faith we receive Him… Read more

I was once again reading a book by M.R. DeHaan that he published in 1950; The Jew and Palestine in Prophecy in which he details at length the meaning and understanding of the Burning Bush.
