Imagine this scene. A handsome man and a beautiful woman, married for twenty-five years, walking on a beach in Hawaii. The moon is full, and the waves crash gently on the beach.
The man says, “After all these years, I still love you passionately. How do you feel about our relationship?”

The spiritual principle of appropriation is vitally important in a relationship with God. I would define appropriation in this way: It is the determined act of receiving. A great scriptural example of appropriation is the woman with the issue of blood. And a woman who had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone, came up

I Peter 2:21 tells us that Jesus Christ is our example. I want to focus on one aspect of His life that should be an example to us: Jesus had a complete and total knowledge of the love of the Father. The greatest example of this is when he was on the cross, and he cried out “My God, why

The Shiloh School of Prophets conference begins tomorrow. I’ve attended the conference for the last six or seven years, but will not be able to make it this year. However, I’m still very excited about it because I have seen how God has always moved in amazing ways in people’s lives during this time. It’s called the School of Prophets for a reason.

There is an Old Testament picture that shows us what we should have faith for in this.

Okay. This will be the last post in this series. I think I bit off a bit more than I could chew, so I will wrap it all up with the rest of my 10 points without too much detail. Is that cool?

As we all know, there was a great earthquake that occurred off of the coast of Japan earlier today. The devastation is great, and our prayers are going out to the entire island nation. The earthquake also triggered a tsunami, which hit Hawaii around 3:10 A.M. this morning.
The first thing we did when we heard about the tsunami was call all the congregants who live in the low-lying areas. The tsunami warning sirens here are very loud, so everyone was already aware of the possible disaster. They all packed up and went to stay with others in the church who live on higher ground.

4. Jesus Christ helps you with your obedience.
Many events of the Old Testament are obvious symbols regarding Christ. One of the great symbolic actions occurred with Moses sprinkling the blood of the sacrifice on the children of Israel as they declared their obedience.
