    You have heard me say on many occasions that there is a difference between churchgoers and true bonafide Christians.

    Everybody wants to know what purpose they have. Does God really have a plan for each one of us?

It was larger than anything that was built like it before, and it was considered by many as a ‘monstrosity that was to grotesque to see.’ But the creator, who had spent over a year building it, knew it was destined for ...read more

    You can never spot a counterfeit dollar if you don’t know what a real one looks like. And you will never be able to spot the false teachers if you do not know the real Teacher.

    Yogi Berra, the great legend of baseball was known for his confusing sayings. Things like; “This is deja-vu, all over again!”, or “You can observe a lot just by watching.” My favorite was, “Baseball is 90% mental, and the other half is physical.” Mr. Berra should have been known as Mr. ...read more

    based on 44 ratings
     | 22,791 views

    77 words of distress being called out from hell, but nobody can help. LUKE 16:19-31.

    There was a movie in recent months about a man who was talking on a short wave radio and ended up talking to his father who had died many years before. Now, that is what I call imagination.
