Over the years, “The Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch” has sponsored an annual contest of the most absurd warning labels. Among their top place winners have been: "Do not use this snow blower on the roof." "Do not allow children to play in the dishwasher." A Clothes Iron had this advice: "Warning! ...read more

A Father’s Love - A Father’s Anger Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Jul 7, 2010

Father’s who allow anger to take control of their minds will stop expressing love to those closest to them. Why, because the emotion of uncontrolled anger turns to rage and drives out the emotion and presence of love.

Not 'if' But 'when' Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Sep 19, 2021

A lot of people are wondering if we’re seeing the beginning the Tribulation or the end times and I thought that we would look at one particular vision that Ezekiel had to help us possibly get a Biblical perspective on the dynamic forces that seem to be tearing our world apart today.
