                    Experts say that 3 people die every second.  If this fact is true, then 180 people die every minute, 10,800 people die every hour, 259,200 people die every day, and 94,608,000 people die every year.  Of the six billion people on earth today, experts also sayt that 2/3 of them have never heard the

                    Bishop Lindsey’s Story
	I recently had the opportunity to hear our Bishop, Lindsey Davis, speak.  He is an avid golfer, so much so in fact that when we went to Augusta for the North Ga Conference meeting they gave him a green jacket – I’m not sure why – I’m kidding I do know the significance of a

                    I WILL SAVE YOU
John Piper puts it this way:
If we only knew it, every one of us is stranded on an ice face in Greenland, and the wind is blowing fiercely. Our position is so precarious that even if we inhale too deeply our weight will shift and we will plunge to our destruction. God comes to us
