Prophecy is all about Jesus, by Ron Brackin

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”2320″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Prophecy is not about hearing, seeing and telling. Prophecy is a divine romance—from his perspective… Listen, my radiant one—if you ever lose sight of me, just follow in my footsteps where I lead my lovers. Come with your burdens and cares….My dearest one, let me tell you how I see you…[1] …and from … Read more

Faith is our eyes on God

“I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s power made available to you through faith.[1] … Faith empowers us to see that the universe was created and beautifully coordinated by the power of God’s words!”[2] Without faith, we can estimate that the universe is about 93 billion light-years in diameter. That’s … Read more

There’s little time left

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”2265″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]God is about to reveal himself as never before. The whole world is going to change, during which time countless men, women and children will give their lives to Jesus—and countless more will decide irrevocably against him. There will be more temptation than ever before, sexual temptations heading the list. We’ve been weakening … Read more

Are you a Christ-follower? Sure?

Following Jesus is not about doing something else. Following Jesus is about being somebody else. Not about going to church, singing in a choir, fasting, praying and reading the Bible. Anybody can do that and be as far from being a Christ-follower as Harold Shipman.[1] Following Christ is where you stop being who you were … Read more

One-Hit wonders

Mr. White:     It’s a very common tale. Jimmy:           Well, maybe for you, but I was in a band, and we still have a hit record. … Read more

The restoration of God’s church

Pastors have been spread pretty thin for the past two thousand years or so. But no one notices because, well, it’s been like that for the past two thousand years or so. And how’s that working? Three out of four pastors report working up to 75 hours a week. 80 percent say their ministry has … Read more

What is a prophet?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”2234″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The prophetic to this point has been seen mostly on stage, ministering to the audience in front of the stage and at home group meetings. But prophecy is much more than that! In the Old Testament alone . . . It was part of their commission to show the people of God ‘their … Read more

Metaphysical misperception

There’s a very interesting little verse in the Bible that few people ever notice. It’s tucked away in a letter that John wrote to some of the first Christ-followers, where he said simply, “God is love.” How many times have we read that little phrase and said to ourselves, “Of course, I know that” and … Read more

You’ve got the goods!

I love Paul’s correspondence with the church in Corinth. Corinth was a wealthy trade city. Its first century public market was bigger than any in Rome. By 50 a.d., when Paul visited, it was the most beautiful, modern and industrious city of its size in Greece, with temples that had been restored and enlarged, new … Read more
