God Preserves the Seed
From the archives of Oral Roberts – First of three parts God promises in Malachi 3:10-11: I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes.

Our Lineman
Richard Roberts During football season, I enjoy watching an occasional football game on television. I especially remember a Super Bowl game I was watching when the San Francisco 49ers pretty well man-handled their opponents. People everywhere were talking about Joe Montana, the quarterback for the 49ers, saying what a powerful player he was. I noticed […]
Is it Possible to Please God?
Richard Roberts A life without faith is a life without possibilities. The Bible says in Hebrews 11:6, But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
