James 5:16b The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Have you ever wondered what someone who's never seen the modern world thinks of us approaching a wall, pressing a few buttons, and out comes lots of money? Cash machines -- they're everywhere -- and if you've got cash in your account, you can just go and make a withdrawal!
Imagine having a cash card that you could use to withdraw as much as your heart desires anytime you want -- with no limit.
We, who believe, have a card like that! We have direct access to the riches of God's grace. We have unlimited access to love, mercy, joy, and all the good things of the Lord, and we can access it any time, any place, and in any circumstance. The strange thing is that we don't use it nearly as much as we could!
We need to tap into God's wonderful bank of unlimited riches today! May the righteous use their spiritual bankcards to withdraw much!

As we approach the end of the age we are overwhelmed with the amount of evidence of the reliability and accuracy of the Bible. In the last century, archaeological discoveries have significantly reinforced the Bible’s credibility. A pivotal moment was in 1947 with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, an event whose significance was underscored with the timing of the reestablishment of the nation of Israel.
Yeshua (Jesus) gave us some signs and indications of what society would look like just before His return. One sign was the sign of Lot.
People read this verse, and think God is telling them to be passive — to overlook what happened. That is not a bad thing — but it isn’t exactly what Yeshua (Jesus) was saying. Turning the other cheek is not about being passive. It’s about being active! So active that it actually confounds your enemy! Turning the other cheek is about taking an action so revolutionary, so shocking, so out of the ordinary that it shocks everyone around. It confounds the world — and can also change it!
