God Gives the Ability

Lindsay Roberts In Webster’s Dictionary one of the definitions for the word power is “the ability to do or to act.” Often we want to do certain things, but we don’t have the ability to do them. For example, there’s no way I could walk onto a basketball court and play with an NBA team. […]

‘Don’t Compromise!’

From the archives of Oral Roberts There are two inescapable facts of life. First, your faith in God will be tried. Your love and your commitment to Him will be tested. My wife’s sister once asked me, “Oral, why, when we give ourselves to God, do these trials come? I said, “Because there is a […]
