An Increase of Souls
We just returned from our Reaching the Rez outreach to the Lakota-Sioux Native Americans in Pine Ridge, South Dakota. I don’t have a glossy photograph to share of thousands gathered in a local arena with hundreds flooding the altars in response to the dynamic message about freedom in Christ. But if you could step just…
Resting in His Care
Whatever you’re facing today, I assure you that you’ll walk through the valley of the shadow of death if you’ll choose to trust your Shepherd and rest in His care.
Getting Away with God
“Get away with God”. This phrase represents a lost art form in today’s culture, doesn’t it? We are truly so very busy, even busy in the work of the Kingdom. Over the past month I have literally been at home less than 7 days! I confess that even while studying the Word, preaching & singing…
On Purpose for the Promise
Deuteronomy 6:1-2, 6-9: 1 “Now this is the commandment, and these are the statutes and judgments which the Lord your God has commanded to teach you, that you may observe them in the land which you are crossing over to possess, 2 that you may fear the Lord your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments…
Greater is He!
1 John 4:4-6: 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. 6We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he…
Functional or Dysfunctional?
When everyone takes care of their own responsibilities, the family functions with ease and increases in joy! What is your responsibility in the family of God where you are planted?
When God’s People Pray
Acts 12, verses 5-17: 5 Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church. 6 And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison. 7 Now behold, an angel…
The Defining Difference
As we approach this powerful weekend of celebration of our Lord’s Resurrection–the day that changed everything, death to life, darkness to light–let us take on the apostle Paul’s determination as we present the Gospel. He said in 1 Corinthians 2:1-5: “And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech…
Anointed for a Purpose
1 Samuel 16: 1, 13: “Now the Lord said to Samuel, ‘How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons.’….Then Samuel took the…
Give Them Jesus
It’s a very exciting time, not only for Chresten Tomlin Ministries, but for evangelism in general, because there is a noticeable “upswing” in hunger in people across the nation for more of God. People are coming to the realization that without Jesus they are hopeless and they will not make it unless they get to…
Results from the Rez
First of all, a huge “thank you” to all of those who prayed and interceded for me this past week. You will never know what you accomplished through your prayers. As I mentioned in my last blog entry, we dealt with heavy demonic attacks, attempting to make us ineffective. But the Blood prevails! A revival…
Matthew 16:18
Matthew 16:18: “…And upon this rock I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be…
