One Nation Under God

Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on May 17, 2017

Is our nation still a nation "Under God?" Was it ever a nation "Under God?" Some would have you believe that it was founded on secular principles but they are wrong and you can tell them so.

What does “Under God” mean anyway? As a country, have we forgotten? Did it once mean that we were under His control? Were we under His protection? Were we in His Spirit?

Follow Me To A Great Catch

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jul 13, 2015

He asked Peter to go fishing in the daytime. As someone who had fished in this particular area for most ...read more
