So many people, in spite of the fact they go to church, in spite of the fact they are religious, are starving spiritually because they’re … Continue reading “SOUL”
SINGLENESS, WAITING
I HAD to fly to Memphis once to speak briefly at a meeting and the plane was delayed. I got a little nervous because when I got to Memphis I still had to drive an hour away to Jackson, Tennessee.

SIN NATURE, RESIDUE OF
I KNOW that when we go to Israel and I come back from Israel, I will suffer from jet lag. I will leave the country of Israel, and return to Dallas, but when I arrive home, I’ll probably be good for nothing for a few days. Why? Because I will carry the residual effect of … Continue reading “SIN

SIN, JUDGMENT ON
I HAVE a basic philosophy about roaches. The only good roach is a dead roach. That’s right. That’s my philosophy. If I come out late at night, turn on the light, and see a roach, that roach is in big-time trouble. Why? Because I’m going to kill it dead. I’m going to kill it with … Continue reading “SIN,

SIN, IN THE BELIEVER
