    Questions are part of daily life. Some questions have black-and-white answers, others are in the shades of gray. Some questions have no answers. How we ask God questions is a reflection of our attitude towards Him.

We want them now! But we want them to meet our expectations. Look at how we view the upcoming ...read more

    The one mark that Christ said would distinguish His followers is the love they have for each other. We have shown a different picture. As a church we must stop hurting each other. We must learn to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

In penning his theological point of views there was evidence in the words and phrases that his writing abilities were a little amateurish; ...read more
