    I submit to you that abortion is destroying the highest qualities of God that are present in the womb! Every human being at conception is formed after the nature and perfections of God.

    Who said these 2 statements…? “…Beings of an inferior order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations, and so far inferior that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect.” “Maternity or additional offspring may force upon the ...read more

    Treating others with gentleness begins with understanding that God uses gentleness with us, and then moves to our being gentle with ourselves. Gentleness does shape the behavior of others.

    Why is it that some situations cause us to lose our tempers? Why do we sometimes lose all sense of reason and just get angry all over? Why is it that when we are trying to get someone else to do what we want them to do, we can barely control our rage? A few weeks ago I introduced you to our new ...read more

    God says to make His house a house of prayer for all people but we pick and choose who is welcome in God’s house. That should not be!

    We’ve all entertained in our homes at one time or another. We’ve had somebody drop by or invited someone for lunch or dinner. Maybe we’ve had people over for a weekend or longer.
