What if you have been programmed, duped, hoodwinked, and otherwise misguided? This thought has most certainly crossed your ...read more

    Love Jesus as the woman who wiped His feet with her tears loved Him and love others as Jesus loved the woman.

    The Bible is filled with instances of singing. It was an vital part of the worship of Israel, and now is an essential part of the worship of the church.

    Psalm 96:1; 98:1; 149:1 I SING BECAUSE Singing is as universal as any activity individuals participate in. A seminary student was leading the music for a small church. His first Sunday "jitters" became apparent after the choir completed a beautiful special number. Relieved, he ...read more

    A slightly different twist on the familiar story of Mary and Martha. Using an analogy of Kentucky Fried Chicken, how do we act when life treats us to chicken wings? Have faith in God because He is bigger than our problems.

    Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, when was the last time you brought home a family-size bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken? I imagine more people will be buying those again since KFC announced they no longer use partially hydrogenated fats for frying. What portion do you usually choose from the ...read more
