D.L. Moody once visited Charles Spurgeon in London and worshipped with him at the Metropolitan Tabernacle. Upon his return to America, he was asked, “So you got to hear Spurgeon preach?” Moody replied, “Yes, but even better, I got to hear him pray.” Lord, teach us to pray.

Everything in life & Kingdom living gets back to one thing-faith. Jesus said, Believe in me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me

Always look for Jesus in the storms. He is always there. “The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing... they saw Jesus walking on the sea"(John 6:18,19)

This tweet raised a much needed concern....my source is in the process of validating the data and its early...My conversations with pastors confirm for me the reality that the stress of our times and uncertainty regarding churches is creating a massive exit from the ministry
Some early surveys and reports indicate as many as 20 percent of pastors will quit the ministry during and after the pandemic. Discourage is very real right now. Pray for and encourage your pastor

Perhaps the greatest thing that can be said of followers of Christ is, he/she walks with God. "Enoch walked with God."

From my morning scripture meditation... Psalm 9:15 “The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.” Hmmm...

Soon after the death of Charles Spurgeon, B.H. Carroll wrote: "If every crowned head in Europe had died that night, the event would not be so momentous as the death of this one man."
