Mercy and Revival
By Dale Garris
"Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy." (Prov. 20:28)
If there is any one message that can be deemed the most important of all, it is the message of mercy. The Apostle Paul wrote that charity is even more important than faith and hope, the two pillars that our salvation rest upon.
It is not enough to be righteous before God. The Pha...

Drunkeness
By Dale Garris
"Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: Where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? Are they restrained? ... O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance." Isaiah 63:15,17

Send Me
By Dale Garris

She Shall Be Saved in Childbearing
By Dale Garris
Revival is coming to Kenya. It isn't just something that's in the air; it's in their hearts.
I listened to a lady from the U.S. as she told me how great the praise and worship services were in Kenya. It's not the praise and worship that gets me excited -- it's the altar calls.

Mwala
By Dale Garris
It's Day One of my 7th trip to Kenya.
Just as each person you meet has a different personality, so does each trip I make here. Unlike other trips to Africa, I have not had a lot of excitement or drive this time. I actually wondered if I was going flat like a Coke that has been left out too long - still tastes like Coke, but have I lost my fizz? Would I be an effective wi...
