Every time you receive categorical doctrine, God makes a deposit in your bank account in heaven. When you hear a message on the ministry of reconciliation and obey it the best you can, it can transform your marriage and family. When the love of God is shed abroad in our...

Everyone experiences measures of stress. Just as the stress of resistance in weight training builds strong muscles, a certain amount of stress increases strength in our mental and spiritual capacities. But when we live under constant stress, we may feel tired even when there is no apparent reason. Sometimes, we...

God's nature always reveals redemption and a ministry of reconciliation. People who cannot forgive and forget have forgotten how to receive the resurrection power of love. Imagine it.
