A Living Book
Richard Roberts You never reach the place where you have no need to study the Bible. I’ve read the Bible through many times, but I keep finding new things in it that I’ve never read before. It’s the greatest love story, the greatest prose and poetry, the greatest storytelling volume, the greatest piece of nonfiction, […]
Standing on the Word
Lindsay Roberts I remember driving past a billboard once that said, “Isn’t it funny that people believe television but question the Bible?” I thought… That sign is pretty catchy.

Take Your Dream Off of the Shelf
Richard Roberts Do you have a dream that needs to be resurrected? Years ago when my father was preaching a crusade in Seattle, Washington, a man by the name of William Skrinde was in the audience. He had failed in business and was working for only 75 cents an hour in a nursing home. He […]

Comfort in Times of Trial
Richard Roberts As long as you are on this earth, you’re going to have trials. Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy everything you hold hear (John 10:10), especially, if you are serving God with a fervency. I know this from experience. In 1984, Lindsay gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Richard Oral. He […]

The Lord Promises to Be with You
From the archives of Oral Roberts – Second of three parts When Jesus called His disciples to launch out and go to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, the Bible says that Jesus “went into a ship with his disciples” (Luke 8:22). Jesus never intended for His disciples ― or for us ― […]
Jesus Intends for You to Succeed
From the archives of Oral Roberts – First of three parts Has the Lord called you to do something for Him? It may be a phone call He wants you to make, a place He wants you to go, a person He wants you to visit, a gift He wants you to make, a job […]
