     | 34,660 views

    This message addresses some of the primary issues facing troubled marriages today. It was a follow up to a message called "Marriage that Goes the Distance" that I did the preceding week.

    Top Ten Marriage Killers Communication in marriage can be a challenge can’t it? You only have to be married five minutes to know what I am talking about. That’s due in part to the fact that men and women speak two entirely different languages. Last Sunday’s message was on Marriage that Goes the ...read more

What if you became the victim of identity theft and you found your bank accounts emptied and your credit destroyed? 2. Career? What if your company suddenly ...read more

    Sometimes we need to take a fresh look at long held or cherished traditions and teachings.

    Submitting To God In Times Of Famine

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,737 views

    Abraham experienced a crisis of faith. He hesitated to trust God to continue. Every famine is a test from God. Can we wholeheartedly trust and submit to him? That is always the question. God doesn't leave us even when we leave him.

Of course, if someone in your house is having a heart attack, you would call the paramedics. If you have a fire, you would call the fire ...read more

    Today we hear a lot of praise for the firemen and policemen in our nation.
