I don’t know how you feel about yourself, but I know I’m not dumb. By that I mean: I don’t just walk around life with an empty head. I read, study and interact with information actively on a daily basis. And yet, for all my knowledge, here’s what I have learned: Knowledge in itself cannot…
“eloquent-stammer” is the Christian life.
I cannot remember when I came up with that name for myself, but it was many years ago.

I want a revival.
There is a verse in Scripture that is very interesting. It says in the NLT translation: “Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant” (Ecclesiastes 11:4).
