Beware of Fraudulent ‘Facebook Prophets’
Prophecy is a powerful and much-needed spiritual gift. The apostle Paul told us that prophecy provides edification, exhortation and comfort.

As a young woman, I was extremely serious. Because of the years of sexual abuse I endured growing up, I really never knew what it was like to have a childhood—to live care-free and just laugh and play. I’ll never forget the time I went to see a doctor several years back. As he examined

Reagan and Trump: How God Protected 2 Presidents From Assassination
On March 30, 1981, President Ronald Reagan walked out of the Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., after speaking to a labor union group. The president had only been in office for 70 days.

How Is God Moving in this Election Season’s Chaos?
When President Joe Biden responded to the growing chorus of requests to drop out of the presidential race, he said he would not unless he heard from the “Lord almighty.” It was an unprecedented reference from a leading Democratic politician.

What the World Can’t Give You
People search for happiness in a lot of places. They look to things like relationships, money, vacations, houses, clothes and even open doors of opportunity. Yet while these things can bring a degree of excitement for a period of time, happiness is based on what is happening in the moment. I was a Christian for

7 Traits of a Bitter Person
Hebrews 12:15 tells us a root of bitterness can spring up and defile many. This is because bitterness can spread to others even through multiple generations.

How Can Young Leaders Emerge if Old Leaders Stay in Power?
President Joe Biden is facing the biggest challenge of his 54 years in government. After his disastrous debate performance on June 27, some members of his own party went into panic mode.

10 Ways Woke Culture Is Reframing Civilization
The book of Genesis recounts how Adam named and categorized the animals, highlighting the profound significance of defining and classifying God’s creation (Gen. 2:19-20). As God’s vice regent, Adam used his act of naming as a powerful assertion of authority, underscoring that the one who defines a thing holds power over it. Throughout history, the

Enjoying Life God’s Way
I have a burden to see people enjoy the life Jesus died to give them—and I want to see people not just talk about it but walk in it. John 10:10 (AMPC) says, “The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and

This Is How We Begin to Change the Scandal Cycle
In a world that seems to get worse daily, we need the power of the Holy Spirit more than ever to live lives pleasing to God. While the Pentecostal/charismatic movement is far from perfect, there are still standards for righteousness that seems non-existent in liberal or woke segments of the church.

I Was So Tired of Praying I Almost Gave Up
I’ve been praying for a specific financial need related to my overseas ministry for several years. Missionary work is a challenge because 1) I’m certainly not a professional fundraiser, and 2) most people don’t spend a lot of time thinking about needs in developing countries. Eventually I hit a spiritual wall. I was discouraged. I

9 Ways to Keep Missional Fire Burning
As Timothy oversaw the church in Ephesus, Paul exhorted him to “fan into flame the gift of God” (2 Tim. 1:6b, NIV). Despite this, within a generation, the church in Ephesus faced a stern rebuke from Jesus for abandoning its first love, with the only remedy being a return to its initial deeds (Rev. 2:2-5).

How Do We Engage the Culture If We’re Speeding to the End of Time?
For decades, Pentecostals have been too passive when it comes to what is happening in the culture. During World War I, they were actually pacifists. That has gradually changed, and the culture long ago rejected the “holiness” legalism that characterized the movement. Now, on many issues like how we dress or what entertainment we consume,

The Freedom of Self-Control
We all have hopes and dreams for our lives—whether it’s to buy a house, get in shape physically, have success at our job, grow spiritually or any number of other things.
