There exist several denominationalists who claim to have been witness to a miracle from God. Some evangelists will even claim to perform miracles through the power of God and His Spirit.

It is a perfect combination of conceit and ignorance…It is the defense of the devil, shell of a petrified mind, and the…

Many believe that life cannot be lived without worry and concern. Our generation calls itself the “Age of Anxiety.” It would appear that Martha has many brothers and sisters in our day who are “careful and troubled about many things” (Luke 10:4).
