The word “awesome” has been around a long time in our culture. Other words have come along and worked to supplant “awesome,” but those words seem to fade away, while “awesome” keeps hanging on. Consider just some words that have been used for “awesome” over the last thirty years – the bomb, the bomb-diggity, crackalackin, ill, killer, boss, dirty, off the hook, the off the chain, off the heezie, off the hizzle, epic, phat, rad, lit, redonkulous, righteous, sic, sic-nasty, sla

I pray that you will begin to understand the incredible greatness of his power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. ~ Ephesians 1:19,20 (NLT) I can really know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. ~ Philippians 3:10 (NLT) Now glory be to God! By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinit

In his book, The Grace Awakening, Chuck Swindoll writes, “I consider the most dangerous heresy on earth the emphasis on what we do for God instead of what God does for us. Some are so convinced of the opposite, they would argue nose to nose. They are often the ones who claim that their favorite verse of Scripture is ‘God helps those who help themselves.’ The fact is, God helps the helpless, the undeserving, those who don’t measure up, those who fail to achieve His standard.

Lord Most High, Everlasting God, Healer, Lord of Hosts, Consuming Fire, Judge, Savior, Redeemer, Holy One, Strong Tower, Rock, Almighty God, Alpha and Omega, Ancient of Days, Crea

Everything on earth will worship you; they will sing your praises, shouting your name in glorious songs. ~ Psalm 66:4 (NLT) As a teenager, growing up in the 1980s, not only did I have to deal with keeping my mullet looking good, I also had to deal with a younger sister (Stephanie) who had a HUGE crush on the boy band, New Kids on the Block. Now Steph had New Kids' bed-sheets, pillow cases, posters, lunch box, dolls, videos, magazines, etc. If it existed, and had a New Kids'

Jesus said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.” ~ Matthew 9:37,38 (NLT) Eric Liddell is probably most remembered for being the central character in the biographical movie, Chariots of Fire. The movie focuses on Eric’s quest to win track and field gold at the 1924 Paris Olympics. His race of choice was the 100m sprint. However, when he discovered

What if I offered you $100 if you promised to spend it this week? Would you take it? My guess is probably so. Well, what about this? You could have $100 now to be spent in a week or you could have $100,000,000 to be spent over a lifetime if you wait six months. Which one would you choose? I know I would much rather have the $100,000,000 to spend over a lifetime than to have just a measly $100 to be spent in a week. My guess is that you would answer as I would even if it meant
