We were shocked at the loss of Bob. Last Saturday, April 24, 2015, there was a magnitude 7.8 earthquake in Nepal. Here ...read more

    Do we let earthly value supersede godly worth? Even if it is something negative in us which can come out as a glory to God. Are we willing to lose all that God has placed in our lives for His glory? What do we do with what has been placed in our hands?

Who could ever think that she would become a model who would even teach the mature in Christ to worship ...read more
