The 1994 elections were the biggest repudiation of a political party in this century. They signaled the most dramatic shift in the direction of American politics since the election of Franklin Roosevelt over 60 years ago. Its effects could even exceed those of the Reagan Revolution, or at least carry it to a new level. However, the signal to strike out in a certain direction is not the completion of the trip. This is bigger than the repudiation of a political party. If we do not discern the bigger picture, the next change could just as well move

When Peter made his great confession that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God, the Lord promised: “... upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18 KJV).

A Call to Worship, A Call to Unity,
A Call to Prayer. . . In Every Place.
A Call Beyond Church Walls
The gathering of the Church should be a provocative event. It should provoke questions, raise issues, challenge mindsets. The Church began on the Day of Pentecost as an event that demanded an explanation. Peter had to get up and explain the work of God in these ordinary people because people saw it and were asking questions. Since then, the church has become hidden away behind...
