What Image is Confronting You?
From the archives of Oral Roberts – Second of six parts Nebuchadnezzar ― mighty conqueror and ruler of Babylon ― had defeated every nation known to him. He had his smelters take gold in huge amounts and cast an image of his own body, 100 feet high. Can you imagine that golden image standing ten […]
The Most Livable City
From the archives of Oral Roberts – First of six parts We frequently hear about polls in which the results reveal “the most livable cities” in our nation.

Why Just Sit Here?
From the archives of Oral Roberts There is a story in the Old Testament of four lepers sitting at the gate of Samaria facing a choice between two deaths: starvation in the city or destruction by the Syrians outside. There seemed to be no hope of escape or survival. Finally they said, “Why sit we […]
Focus on God’s Promises
Richard Roberts Have you ever had a problem that seemed so impossible you couldn’t think about anything else? That’s our human tendency, but God has a better plan.
