Tupelo, Miss. One person there commented the next day, "The Lord
heard a lot of strange voices ... last night."
Saddam, as the tornado, is causing a lot of people to

Likewise, lives and nations need spiritual renewal.
What Saddam Hussein is doing is intended for evil. Let's pray

The Christian community in America might well be mirrored in an
experience of ancient Israel. Solomon had just finished the
construction of the temple. On the evening of the dedication,
