“What is to be noted is not just the the prophetic mind is lucid, but that the prophetic personality is sufficiently grounded in something other than the shifting sands of the social order to withstand the contagious power of social consensus. The clearest proof that Micaiah has managed to stay outside that vortex is that …
Faith Apprehends All Things
We live in a world filled with the glory and kindness of God. We also live in a world filled with sin, sin that can be defined as refusal to see the glory and kindness of God. Some Christians have so emphasized the presence and tenacity of sin that they have made themselves unable to …
Either Faith or Unbelief
We come before the Lord in trust. We have to do this because without it, nothing we do in worship will prevail with Him.
