It’s Time to Get the Glory Back in the Church!
By Tom Shanklin “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.” Isaiah 60:1, 2, KJV.

There seems to be little regard for life, either of the born or the unborn. And God’s … Continue reading

Pray for the Nations!
My wife and I have made it a practice to pray together each morning. We pray for one another, for our family, for the partners of our ministry, and for our nation. We conclude our time of prayer by praying for one of the the nations of the world. Sometimes it’s a country that’s in the news, but other times it’s a nation that we seem to “pull out of the hat,” but actually the Holy Spirit is guiding us in our prayers. After we pray, I like to look up the nation we have … Continue reading
Hang in There Baby! Persistence in Prayer
Hang in there, baby! It may not sound very spiritual, but it certainly is biblical. The Scripture says it this way, “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9, KJV. Someone said, “Persistence prevails, when all else fails.” Perseverance is a major principle of success in every endeavor of life, and prayer is no exception. When we come to God with our requests for ourselves, for our families, and for others, there may be delays to receiving the answers to our … Continue reading
