Jesus and his disciples were entering Jerusalem and had just reached the pool of Bethesda, a commonplace where afflicted and ill gather and lay under the five covered porches.

One Day You Wake Up and Suddenly Realize!
One day you wake up and suddenly realize! You’re tired of recognized daily habits and days being a repeat of nonproductive routines that aren’t growing you toward the man you most want to be.

Equipping for Spiritual Warfare
As men wholeheartedly make the effort to continually give themselves to God to use at His pleasure, it becomes obvious they have chosen upon themselves a rewarding yet strenuous life. It will come with difficult battles in their mind like they’ve never experienced before. Defeat is assured in times of apathy of prayer and study…
