2025 – A Year of Rebuilding

Jonathan Baldwin

Jonathan Baldwin

Many of us are concerned that this vaguely written bill will also open a door for all “reproductive freedom” including transgender transition surgeries for minors without parental consent. Most Missouri constitutional amendments running the traditional route through the legislature go through a vigorous vetting process to make sure the law is only doing what it […]

Corrie Ten Boom often spoke of our lives as a weaving. First showing the backside, those she spoke to would only see the jumbled threads with no apparent pattern. However, when she would turn the cloth over it would display an intricately embroidered crown. In eternity we will clearly see our lives fully for how […]

International House of Prayer Will Wind Down But the 24/7 Prayer Room Will Continue

Jonathan Baldwin

In November last year, I (Jonathan) heard the phrase from John 12:24, “Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.” I felt like He was saying a very real death was coming for […]

And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. (1 Corinthians 2:1-5)
