My husband and I were privileged to hear Bill Johnson preach on Saturday night. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing and we’re very glad we decided to go!

The discussion got heated when I quoted Kris Vallotton in “The Supernatural Ways of Royalty”: We have made cross-carrying a career opportunity instead of a one-day event. My friend made [...]

One of the places the Lord has had me lately is in a study of the Narrow Gate: Enter by the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the [...]

Four years ago, on our first visit to the church the Lord sent us to for a season, a couple prophesied to us. At that point, Ken and I didn’t have a lot of experience with personal prophecy. We’d seen it in a corporate setting and had some limited experience with words of knowledge… but [...]
