CONFIDENCE IN THE HOLINESS OF CHRIST WHICH YIELDS HOLINESS IN CHRISTIANS
1 John 1 There is nothing quite as sweet as confidence. Will you take a long trip if you don't have confidence in your car?

When it comes to … Continue reading CONFIDENCE IN THE HOLINESS OF CHRIST WHICH YIELDS HOLINESS IN CHRISTIANS
Send Me
Send me. When the Lord's work is to be done, send me. When the Gospel can be preached, send me. Isaiah heard The Lord say, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?". He replied, "Here am I, send me." When The Lord needs workers, we can't sit idle. Everyone who has sat … Continue reading Send Me
THE POWER OF THE RESURRECTION IN MY LIFE
As they neared the shores of this life in their front porch rocking chairs, a grandfather said to his wife, "Mother, read the words to me again."

Do You Need a Snickers?
You have seen the Snickers commercials. Robin Williams is a coach who "just isn't himself." They are telling us that you just can't be right without a Snickers bar, and we say AMEN.

The Gospel Preacher
He left his Heavenly throne and had nowhere to lay his head, he was the Gospel preacher. His family rejected him and the crowds turned away, he was the Gospel preacher.
