                    YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN
Paula Webster had been raised in a Christian home, had been given a Christian education, and was settled down in what seemed to be a Christian marriage. She was active in her church, attended Bible conferences, and even had regular times of personal Bible study. She said

                    BORN AGAIN TREE
Back when I was growing up we had a tree in our back yard.  And is often the case after a storm the tree’s trunk cracked and blew down.  There wasn’t anything we could do to save that tree.  So my father borrowed a chain saw and cut down the tree right at the bottom so that all

Susan Boyle has taken the world by storm.  Here is this middle aged homely spinster who has never been kissed--and she has won the hearts of not only Britain, but nearly everyone in the world.  
Why is that?  Is it because she is such a fantastic singer?  I don’t think so.  There are
