Climbing Over The Wall

A blog post by David Browning

When athletes train for their various sports and begin their various work out routines there is a term known as "hitting the wall." This is the point when the athlete reaches a point when his muscles or endurance or strength has grown as much as it can with the current training and needs more advance training to continue improving. I hit a similar wall a few months ago. It was not the same type of wall as these athletes, but rather a spiritual wall.

How to Stir Up God's Spirit

The apostle Paul admonished members in one of the churches he started, "Do not quench the Spirit" (1 Thessalonians 5:19Quench not the Spirit.

Olympic Fire

Like the Olympic flame, God's Spirit has spread from individual to individual, country to country, continent to continent. It burns without interruption, without change, on its way to a sure and established goal.
