At Your Word I Will… (Luke 5:5/09)
'Today's Little Lift' from Jim Bullington

“He [Jesus] said to Simon, ‘Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.’ But Simon answered and said to Him, ‘Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.’ And when they had done this, they caught a great number…(continue reading article)

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer
Morning / Evening Devotional — June 3

If the Church in the second half of this century is to recover from the injuries she suffered in the first half, there must appear a new type of preacher.
