In New Jerusalem John saw “a river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb in the middle of its street.” The river portrays the Spirit flowing to us and 1 Corinthians 12:13 says we “were all given to drink one Spirit.” Isaiah 12:2 says the Lord has become… Continue reading Rejoice in the Lord, Drink the Water of Life 43-2-2

Carriers of his Presence
Following Jesus’s ascension, the apostles went around preaching the good news and continued the work of Jesus Christ. These men were so full of the presence of God that even their shadow caused people to be healed.

Godly conversation has more impact than we think
By Elizabeth Prata I am a literacy educator in a lower elementary school. I am also a writer. I am an editor. And I have been a voracious reader since I read “Dick and Jane“.

He who began a good work in you – Terry Nightingale
“… being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” (Phil 1:6) Harassed by a demon-possessed slave girl, beaten with rods and then thrown into prison, I don’t think anyone would say that Paul’s experience of planting a church… Continue reading He who began a good work in you – Terry Nightingale
Will We Know Everything in Heaven or Will We Learn? – Blog – Eternal Perspective Ministries

DO YOU HAVE THE COURAGE? Destiny can be a dangerous road, but you don’t have to walk it alone. I don’t have to walk it alone. WE don’t have to walk it alone. God has our back. That does not mean we ignore the potential for trouble awaiting us. It means with Him we can… Continue reading Courage for Your Preparation Process
My Favorite Phrase
Life brings its own set of challenges. Keeping on top of everything or ahead of it all is a full-time job. But what if God gives you a command or challenge to carry out? Do you blindly obey with all the faith you have? Do you say, “Okay, God, but help me.”? Or do you… Continue reading My Favorite Phrase
Few Things Are More Dangerous Than the Quest for Cultural Acceptance – Blog – Eternal Perspective Ministries
Note from Randy: Something is seriously wrong when Christians crave cultural popularity and acceptance. That’s why I greatly appreciated the points made in this article by Brett McCracken, a senior editor and director of communications at The Gospel Coalition. May it remind us that God is the one we should seek to please and glorify. So by all means,… Continue reading Few Things Are More Dangerous Than the Quest for Cultural Acceptance – Blog – Eternal Perspective Ministries
