With Childlike Faith in the Risen Lamb
Then when they were alone, he turned to the disciples and said, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you have seen. I tell you, many prophets and kings longed to see what you see, but they didn’t see it. And they longed to hear what you hear, but they didn’t hear it.” (Luke 10:23-24 NLT)…
Words Unfading and Unchanging
“Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away…

The God “Who IS”
In the Hebrew scriptures, the divine name Yahweh literally means “I AM WHO I AM” (Ex. 3:14). He is the God “who is.” Yahweh was the prized name for God among the Israelites.

The interview was filmed on-site at this year’s IFCA national convention outside the dinner gala (Craig’s background canceling microphone mutes most of the background dinner noise).
Reflections on a “Pentecostal” Anniversary
