One of my earliest Christian memories goes back to the year 1935 when I was five years old and was standing on the edge of Biscayne Bay in Miami, Florida. Our congregation, Little Flock Church, was holding a baptismal service and I was watching my mother and father wad...

Christians frequently suffer from long-term crises which pass unhindered from one generation to the next. These include explosive anger, depression, disease, alcoholism, lying, domination, manipulation, and numerous other destructive habits. Few realize these are not u...

It cannot be coincidental that the Five-Fold Ministry of the New Testament is paralleled by a five-fold Satanic opposition. Nor is it by chance that the same five-fold pattern existed between ancient Israel and her enemies. This similarity of warfare in the Old and New...
