    There is something that most of the public schools no longer do. They no longer teach children how to dress properly for job interviews.

    For example, there was a time that the public school taught students, that when you applied for a job, you should dress up in your best clothes for the job interviews. Today, it is not unusual to see young people go to a job interview in clothes that look like they wore them to bed last night, and ...read more

    Many people take great delight in trying out different restaurants in town. Sometimes you can hear folks around church saying, "Let's get together, I have found a G-R-E-A-T restaurant!”

    When a RESTAURANT serves good food, the customers will keep coming back for more, even if they have to travel a long distance to get there. The same thing is true for a CHURCH. When a church preaches and teaches the Word of God, people who are hungry for God’s Word, will be there every time the ...read more

    With cultural Christianity being the norm in America, nominal faith is what people see most often, and it’s what comes to mind when we tell people we’re a Christian. So, what is a "real" Christian? This message points out five traits.

He replied that he was a Christian, and I asked him how he became one. I’ll never forget his reply: ‘Oh, I was born a Christian’.” ...read more
