Why Prayer Always Precedes God’s Promises and Purposes by MIKE BICKLE for Charisma News Prayers that Strike the Mark are guided by and endowed with the power of the Holy Spirit to accomplish the will and the Word of God.

Such prayer warriors, relentlessly reminding God of His Word, call forth heavenly intervention so that the earth will…

Transforming… Tuesday October 8, 2002 I walked into my first AA meeting, raised my hand and with a veil of false pride proclaimed “my name and I am an alcoholic”! I sat and listened as the people in attendance around me spoke about their situation. I was sober at that moment, but that soon changed – as soon as the meeting ended. A couple of weeks later, after attending a few more meetings, listening to people discuss their experiences with being alcoholic and coming to realize that I needed more…

3 Scriptural Warnings for the Biblically Illiterate in These End Times

3 Scriptural Warnings for the Biblically Illiterate in These End Times by GARY CURTIS for Charisma News I’ve been intrigued recently at the number of times the New Testament epistles speak of people being “ignorant.” The apostles’ intent was not malicious nor mean spirited. The Greek word used is agnoeo‘ and simply means “not knowing.” One might say that these people were “uninformed,” “unlearned,” or “uninitiated.” In each reference, they were “biblically illiterate” of the subject or issue. Biblical illiteracy is a critical problem in our “post-Christian” era. Our modern world…

Was Pascal right about God and belief?

Randolph Jason

Was Pascal right about God and belief? by Mark Vernon  for Christian Today Pascal’s Wager has become a notorious reason to believe in God. The French mathematician and philosopher proposed that it’s rational to believe in God because if you’re wrong it won’t make any difference, but if you’re right it might make every difference as to where you spend eternity. It’s as if he was suggesting it’s better to hedge your bets and believe, only that seems duplicitous and inauthentic. However, there is more to the wager than just…
