An Unholy Agenda
There are several trains of thought running throughout the social media world these days. Each camp is accusing others of having, what I’ll refer to as, an unholy agenda.

If I Were To Pastor Again…
I’ve been a Christian for over forty years. I received Jesus as the Savior of my soul, and Lord of my life back in August of 1975.

The Spirit Within and Upon Me
The Spirit of God is in me to dream and upon me to do. He anoints my head with oil and my hands with fire. He establishes my words and my walk. He enables me to run through a troop and leap over a wall. His power not only sustains me, but also makes me…

Be Unique
“…anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun.” (2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT) “Belongs to Christ…” Anyone who receives, by faith, Jesus Christ as The Lord of their life becomes a new creation, a new “fabrication”, a “species of being which never before existed.”…
