    One of the biggest influences on our society is Hollywood and the messages that they bring us are not always in line with the Word of God. They have an agenda that is clear, how can we distinguish what is right in a world flooded with all sorts of messag

    Since the Church has too long tolerated the teaching of our culture on sexuality and sexuaol relationships, it's time to speak up about building quality relationships.

    When we become passive, smug, or listless in our relationship to God, He does not take it lightly; God doesn’t just want what we DO, He wants US, heart and soul.

The line of demarcation is 606 BC, when the Babylonian captivity began. In 586 BC, the temple was destroyed. The prophets who were active during this time or earlier ...read more
