    There can be no spiritual journey or rightful claim to Christianity without first having a personal encounter with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

    WE DETERMINE IF CHRISTIANITY BECOMES DEFINED AS EITHER RELGION OR RELATIONSHIP. THE DEFINING FACTOR OF WHAT CHRISTIANITY BECOMES IS BASED SOLELY ON WHERE WE DECIDE TO PUT JESUS IN OUR LIFE. SO, JUST HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CHRISTIAN? WHAT CRITERIA WOULD YOU SAY NEEDS TO BE MET ...read more

    Some people leave their new-found faith as a result of having to face the challenge of God. This is not the fault of God, but it is how He chooses to deal with us.

    THE TESTS FOR DESTINY The Word of God should be a challenge for us all. It is at it’s best when it becomes confrontational to our lives. I have seen some who seemed to have had a conversion experience, but for no apparent reason fall away from the Lord. They return to their old lifestyles and ...read more

    God ordered Abram to leave Haran (which means "crossroads") and journey to an unknown land that he would guide him to - this was the crossroad of Israel's begninning.

    2nd Sunday of Lent - Genesis 12:1-4a Well I must admit when I first read over the lessons for today, I said to myself, Richard knew what he was doing being away this Sunday.

    Children of the church can be viewed as those who are new to the church. Why will the church leaders not listen to these people? Time to leave power behind and lead!
