My Utmost for His Highest. "Lord, I will follow Thee; but . . ." Luke 9:61 Supposing God tells you to do something which is an enormous test to your common sense, what are you going to do? Hang back? If you get into the habit of doing a thing in the physical domain, you will do it every time until you break the habit determinedly; and the same is true spiritually. Read More...

The Answer For Evil. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. (Psalm 53:1)

How it was that 60 million perished following the Bolshevik revolution? 'Men have forgotten God' - that's why all this happened. All attempts to find a way out of the plight of today's world are fruitless unless we redirect our consciousness, in repentance, to the Creator of all: Without this, no exit will be illumined, and we shall seek it in vain." - Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Associate Pastor Wayne DurdenHe has made the earth by His power; He has established the world by His wisdom, And stretched out the heaven by His understanding ( Jeremiah 51:15). O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens! (Psalm. 8:1)

I have made this statement on a number of occasions, "there is a lot going on today in our world, it would be so easy to sit down, wring our hands and think how in the world are we going to make it". However, we must never forget our God is on the throne, therefore we are victorious.

When we pray, “Our Father”, we are making a statement of power. Our Father is the creator of heaven and earth. It was Isaiah who said, “Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, measured heaven with a span and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure.” He further stated that He weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance (Isaiah 40:12). Isn’t this great!

Scriptures declare He has numbered the stars of the heaven, He calls them all by name (Psalm 147:4). The very hairs on our head are numbered (Matthew 10:30).

He further said, our prayers are bottled up in glory, praise His holy name. He loves us with an unending love (Rom. 5:5). There is no way our small minds can comprehend the love, mercy, and power of God; what an awesome God we serve!

Jesus Christ preached a gospel of power, casting out evil spirits, healing the sick, raising the dead, saving the sinner and I’m glad to declare to all of us that He is the same today. (Luke 4:36; Heb. 13:8) He has poured out His Holy Ghost power on the church that we might share His love and power to a lost world. I want to be an extension of His, to be used for the glory of God. “Our Father”, My Father, He can be Your Father if He is not. I say Wow!

Because of Calvary, Pastor Durden
