Bush, who is known as a man of FAITH. God is a big part of his life. Gore knew that the polls indicated that the American people liked ...read more

    I want to talk to you again about THE CHURCH REACHING THE LOST.

    There are a lot of misunderstandings about God’s church, but one of the biggest misunderstandings is about the purpose of the church. There is a reason that churches all over this nation, week after week, month after month, and year after year never win any souls to Christ. WHAT IS THE REASON? ...read more
