If you study any science to its limits, you are at that point confronted with a philosophy. If you study any philosophy to its limits, you are at that point confronted with theology. If you study theology honestly and without prejudice, the Holy Spirit will point you to the Source of all things, because that is what He loves to […]
Every outpouring of our God in the earth – every major action of His, seems to be the result of at least one person crying out to Him in intercession for others.

I had the sad fortune Sunday of listening to a sermon on worry. The preacher stated that the only people who don’t worry were in one of three categories: mental incapacity, being sufficiently drugged, or being a psychopath.
