The bible tells us we must be ready to answer such questions. 1Peter 3:15 15But in your hearts set apart ...read more

Make no mistake, we have an “urgency emergency”! I wish I could stand here this morning and say, “Everything is alright”. You can just coast through this life and enjoy it as you live to a ripe old age and be gently laid to rest among family and friends as angels carry you ...read more
