Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 15, 2021

An idea is being floated in our nation that citizens must pay for the sins of the past in something called "reparations." This message asks if this concept is biblical. Praise be to God that He does not require reparations from us!

Across our nation, people are talking about something called “reparations.” ...read more

So, I want to start by saying that viruses do not contain the enzymes needed to carry out the chemical reactions ...read more

The Power Of Music

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

There is power in music and song to lead, to lift, and to express love. Yet we often fail to use this power. We let the discords of life, which are very real and powerful, to drive out the song and harmony, and we become a part of the negatives of life without a song.
