Houdini’s Waterloo
Before the Cross and the Resurrection of Jesus, we were slaves to SIN. We had no choice. We were dead in our trespasses and sin (Ephesians 2:1). When Jesus died on the cross, he opened the door to our cage. Harry Houdini, the famed escape artist, always issued a challenge wherever he went. He claimed…

Time to Pop Your Cork
Matthew 13:58 NLT— And so he did only a few miracles there because of their unbelief. Watchman Nee is my spiritual hero. He died in the early 1970’s after serving God faithfully and sacrificially literally from his mother’s womb. She told God that if He would give her a son, she would give him back…
