Thank God For the Word “ALL”!
Warning .... only read the following few sentences if you are seated. I am about to amaze you. Ready? In the King James Version of the Bible, the word "all" appears 4,664 times. Of those 4,664 appearances, 982 are in the New Testament and 3,682 are in the Old Testament. Are you impressed? Wait ... there's even more. Stay seated. No matter the original Hebrew or Greek word that was translated into our English word "all", in each and every usage, "all" means "the whole amount, quantity, or extent of".

Does God Want to Baptize You in His Spirit?
From time to time, I will hear people question for any number of reasons if God will baptize them in His precious Holy Spirit. I honestly could write pages of information and cite many scriptures to answer their question. But really, there's no need to go through all of that writing. Charles G. Finney in his Revival Lectures answered the question in just 110 words. I know that you will want to copy, paste, and send Finney's quote to many of your friends. “God says he is more ready to give his Holy Spirit to them that ask him, than parents are to give bread unto their children. Here we are...
