Isaiah 58:1 says, “Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.” Being in the church all my life, I have only seen a “grand sweep” of the Holy Spirit a few times. Mine is a holiness denomination. Revival services

Isaiah 50:11 says, “Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.” As I watched the fireworks again this year on the 4th

Proverbs 6:23 says, “For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is a light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.” Walking through Hezekiah’s Tunnel was a welcomed treat after walking the hot streets of Jerusalem. The cool water was waist deep. The winding cave was narrow. The ceiling was low, sometimes

Psalm 138:8a states, “The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me;” It was a little café at the foot of the mountains where the loggers were the main customers. A giant of a man—broad shoulders, suspenders, and a heavy beard— was enjoying his coffee. A stranger, short and citified, walked up to his table. “If

Matthew 19:13-15 says, “Then were brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he laid his hands on them, and
