Praying For Revival
By Dr. Rick Flanders “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (II Chronicles 7:14) It isn’t uncommon today to hear Christians pray […]
Wisdom and Foolishness
By Dr. Rick Flanders “Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge. For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips. That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to […]
“Ought”
By Dr. Rick Flanders “Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.” (I John 4:11) The First Epistle of John is one of the most helpful and challenging books a child of God could ever read and study. Many have built their lives upon promises they have found in its […]

Discouragement about Revival
By Dr. Rick Flanders “And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the Midianites, that the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth […]
What the Spirit Is Saying to the Churches
By Dr. Rick Flanders WE ARE NOT IN “THE LAODICEAN AGE”! “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” (Revelation 3:22) The final book of the Bible is addressed to seven churches in the Roman province called “Asia.” These were local congregations formed in the evangelistic revival that […]
Calling Sinners to Repentance
By Dr. Rick Flanders “And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.
