The True Mark of a Christian

In talking about loving others, let’s look at a Scripture passage that is interesting and often overlooked. It says, “Beloved, let us love one another for love is of God and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God for God is love” (1

Do You Need a Miracle Today?

As I travel around the world, it doesn’t matter what state or country I am in, it seems there is one thing that I find everywhere. There are people who need a miracle. They need it desperately. They need it today. So what is it that activates the miracle in your life? What is it
