    I Don't Need God!

    Contributed by Steve Woods (Pastor Woody) on Jun 24, 2019
     | 7,185 views

    There are too many people today that don't understand, they truly need God! God needs to be the biggest part of our lives in whatever we may do. For ourselves, our families, our friends, our work... we need to make God a part of all these things. Put God back into your Life!

    The other day I was sitting and speaking with a stranger and, as it always seems to do, the topic of God came up. I guess it’s probably because most people I know, know me. They know my beliefs; they know what I do; and they know of my passion for God. This gentleman, a little older than myself, ...read more

    Through the centuries, men of God have been digging sermons out of this Bible the same way a gold miner digs gold out of the earth.

    And, just as there is plenty more gold yet to be dug out of the earth, so there are plenty more sermons that have not yet been discovered in the pages of this sacred Book. The Lord is so great that ministers have not come close to exhausting the materials in this Bible that describe His ...read more
