This Place Called Home
Albany, Georgia, is known for many things. At times, those have been good and positive. At other times, we’ve been in the spotlight because of the negative. On the positive, we are home to a great Marine Corps Logistics Base. We are home to several major companies. We are the home of Patti LaBelle, Ray
His Wonderful Gifts
Read John 17 This high-priority prayer of the Lord Jesus is full of spiritual meat for your soul! To think that the Holy Spirit would record this conversation between the Father and the Son! But note, among other things, the three gifts Christ has left with us. First, He has given us eternal life (v.
If You Want to Be a Leader
Written by: Bill Elliff It is in the heart of many of us to lead. There is something inside of us that longs to help people around us move forward. If our motivations are right and this is not just for selfish gain or human recognition, it is usually a desire that is placed there
Finding Yourself
In August 2012, a group of fifty tourists were visiting the Eldgja volcanic canyon in southern Iceland when it was discovered that one of the passengers was missing. During a rest stop, a woman described as “Asian, 160cm, in dark clothing, and speaks English well” had not returned to the bus. The passengers formed a
The Danger of Mixing Truth and Error
Satan is always looking for ways to trap, confuse, or dilute believers. If he can find a crack in the door, he will make every effort to mix truth and error, all the while saying, “Just be open minded.” Satan does far greater damage as the angel of light than as a roaring lion. The
A Matter of Thrones
Read Nehemiah 2:1-10 Two thrones were involved in Nehemiah’s experience that day: the earthly throne of the king, and the heavenly throne of the Lord. And before Nehemiah asked the aid of Artaxerxes, he looked to God for wisdom and strength. No wonder he knew the blessing of “the good hand of God” upon his
The Personalness of Revival
Written by: Bill Elliff And if you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. (Deuteronomy 28:1) The entire book of Deuteronomy is one long, final sermon
Leaders Aren’t Afraid of Change (Part 2)
We should pray for men who fear God more than man. We should seek to be leaders who aren’t afraid of change. The Pharisees were stuck because they refused to change. In the end, all they held sacred—the Temple, the Sabbath, the rules, the rituals—were all laid aside. They died for the wrong things. They
The Seeking Saviour
Read Luke 19:1-10 The Father is seeking worshipers; the Spirit is seeking His fruit in our lives; and the Son is seeking the lost. This is why He came, and this is why He died. Someone has to seek after sinners simply because they are lost! Andrew went to find his brother Simon (Jn 1:41);
Do You Want to Be Usable to God?
Written by: Bill Elliff Every genuine follower of Christ wants to be used. And in the day in which we live, we desperately need men and women who are in a position to be mighty instruments for personal and corporate revival and awakening in our day. So, how do I cooperate with God in ways
Leaders Aren’t Afraid of Change (Part 1)
As I read the book of Acts, I see the lives of great leaders. I’ve just completed a series entitled WORLDCHANGERS where I singled out six great leaders in the Book of Acts. They were worldchangers because they seemed to always look for opportunities, despite opposition. Peter overcame the fear and failure of past mistakes
God Is Still Seeking
Read John 4:19-26 God is not only seeking fruit in the lives of His children, but He is also seeking true worshipers. We commonly think of worship in terms of stained-glass windows, choirs,and an order of service, but Jesus said nothing about these things. To Him, the most important factor was the condition of the
