Finding strength and encouragement in the words of the late David Wilkerson: We do not keep ourselves from evil by our own power; we do not do battle with Satan in our own strength. The Lord of hosts must do the keeping. Hear what the Bible says: "He sent from above, he took me, he...

Reading in John 1 this morning, and rejoicing in the simplicity of the Gospel there: John 1:11-13 11) He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. 12) But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: 13) Which were...
