THE ROOT OF THE REBELLION IN OUR LAND

THE ROOT OF THE REBELLION IN OUR LAND

by Bill Elliff September 17, 2020

All across our nation there are things erupting that I have not seen in my lifetime. They have surfaced before, but not to this degree in the last 70 years. In my opinion, we see what Romans 1:28 describes as a “reprobate (depraved) mind.” This word describes those who, through continual rejection of God, have such a hardened heart that wrong really seems right to them and vice versa.

THE HISTORY-CHANGING POWER OF PRAYER

THE HISTORY-CHANGING POWER OF PRAYER

by Bill Elliff September 11, 2020

I can see absolutely no political solution to the current state of our nation. We are one step away from civil war. (It's happened in every nation in history and is the way of the human heart without God. We should not be so proud to think it could not happen here.) In my humble, but Biblically fueled opinion, there is only one answer...

THE CYCLE OF OUR SIN AND GOD’S GRACE

THE CYCLE OF OUR SIN AND GOD’S GRACE

by Bill Elliff July 15, 2020

“Prone to wander, Lord I feel it; prone to leave the God I love.” The hymn writer captured in a sentence what is universally true of man. Our humanity is weak, the devil is strong, and the world pulls us relentlessly away from God. Even those who have come into a relationship with Christ still wander at times.

HOW DO WE RESPOND TO A BROKEN NATION?

HOW DO WE RESPOND TO A BROKEN NATION?

by Bill Elliff July 08, 2020

Nehemiah knew that only God could stem the tide and reverse the decay. Only God could mercifully forgive and return His glory to the land. Only God. Only God.

As you survey the land today, what do you suppose this is a time to do?

SIMPLE MEN AND A SOVEREIGN GOD

SIMPLE MEN AND A SOVEREIGN GOD

by Bill Elliff July 07, 2020

It is one of the wonders of the world. One of the most unexplainable things in human history. In fact, if you divorce God from the story, it is impossible to explain.

God takes simple men and women and uses them to change history.

THE PRAYER WE MUST PRAY!

THE PRAYER WE MUST PRAY!

by Bill Elliff June 23, 2020

The Bible is not just written for our inspiration and comfort. It is here to model to us what we are to do and be. To instruct us in effective living and ministry.

The prophet, Daniel, found himself in a culture and season that parallels ours in many respects. The words in Daniel, Chapter 9, give us powerful instruction on exactly what we should be doing right now.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GOD COMES

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GOD COMES

by Bill Elliff June 18, 2020

It is one of the ways of God. Periodically in history He opens the windows of heaven and comes down with His manifest presence. We call these moments “revival” as it affects the church and “spiritual awakening” as it impacts people without Christ.

Spiritual results happen at an accelerated pace with stunning results. These outpourings bring a course correction to nations and most importantly, they glorify God. Nationwide movements usually happen at the worst times in a culture, when they realize the church realizes their only hope is God and lift a united cry of desperation.

LOSING GOD'S PRESENCE

LOSING GOD'S PRESENCE

by Bill Elliff June 16, 2020

Everything flows from the presence of the Lord. Everything. If you have Him, you have everything that matters and lasts. Without Him, you have nothing of value.

THE CORONAVIRUS AND RACIAL TENSION

THE CORONAVIRUS AND RACIAL TENSION

by Bill Elliff June 12, 2020

AND WHAT IF ... we would repent of not loving God with a whole heart and of not loving others with a whole heart? And what if God would respond by sending a mighty nationwide (or worldwide) spiritual revival to the church and massive spiritual awakening to those far from God?

And, what if this return to Him and others started with ME?

HOW SHOULD WE DEAL WITH OUR NATIONAL TRAGEDY?

HOW SHOULD WE DEAL WITH OUR NATIONAL TRAGEDY?

by Bill Elliff May 29, 2020


The last months have been filled with countless opinions of how we should view and respond to our national (and international) tragedy. Health and government officials have interpreted for us the nature of the problem and the potential solutions. We have been fixated on these reports each day and we have been directed by men’s opinions and best ideas.

All of this is good and helpful. But where is the Divine Voice? Are we hearing God’s opinions of these days and turning to Him for Divine solutions?

JESUS LOVES ME, THIS I KNOW

JESUS LOVES ME, THIS I KNOW

by Bill Elliff May 26, 2020

Most people have a hard time acknowledging this most foundational truth. To say that God loves people implies that God loves them, and for many, it doesn’t feel like this compassion exists.

DO OUR PRAYERS MOVE GOD?

DO OUR PRAYERS MOVE GOD?

by Bill Elliff April 28, 2020

Will the Lord find us as men and women—and even leaders—who will admit our sin, humble ourselves, and cry out for God's mercy? Or will we move forward in unrelenting pride? If we turn and pray, He has promised to hear and heal.

It’s time to build an altar of fresh repentance and humble surrender to the Lord. It’s time to pray for the land.
