Charles Dickens' novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with the words, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. . . . " That is how our world will be prior to the return of Jesus Christ: both the best and the worst will be happening at the same time. In the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares, Jesus paints a picture of the last days in which both God and the devil will be at work.

A Man Worthy of Our Hope, Christian News, The Christian Post: "Christ’s resurrection is not open for theological debate. There are many people who think it’s sufficient to believe that Jesus lived and died.

Is Eternal Life Always Eternal?: "I remember exactly where I was when I discovered some Christians believe eternal life may not always be eternal.

This poor man thought he was in danger of losing his salvation."

Atheist Central -- Ray Comfort's Blog: "'Could Living Waters spare some money for the Japanese Red Cross, or another good charity?

On The Box
On The Box
As I sat in the van with the Living Waters team, I prayed that God would get the 12 of us to the Louisiana Transformed Conference safely, and that He would give us “divine encounters.” I wanted the cross paths with people He had well-prepared--similar to the well-prepared woman at the well, in John chapter four.

Last week I had the opportunity to attend the “Shepherds’ Conference,” an inspiring, equipping event hosted by Grace Community Church, which had over 3,000 pastors and leaders in attendance.
