    It was 1916, and Hattie Green was dead. Hattie’s life is a sad demonstration of what it is like to be among the living dead.

    In this case they are not only withholding their tithe – they are withholding their INVESTMENT in themselves and God’s people. They are choosing to remain a “fruitless, wild vine” or a “lone-wolf Christian”. Undisciplined and re-writing the Bible to fit their situation – they go from place to ...read more

    OK HERE, BANNED OVERSEAS When I was a child, this advertisement would not have had a dog's show of making it onto the tele. It's a picture of this young lady on an Australian beach, saying "We've saved a spot on the beach," and I think there's a bit that says, "We've had the camels shampooed." We ...read more
