For most of you in this room, God has given you some measure of influence. You may be a teacher, a coach, a mom, a dad, a boss, an officer in a club, a ...read more

The consecrated cross I’ll bear till death shall set me free; And then go home my crown to wear. For there’s a crown for me.” I feel led of God the Holy Spirit to address this ...read more
