The Bible gives us no explanation as to the ultimate origin of evil but is undoubtedly connected with the devil. When we open the pages of Scripture he already existed. The ...read more

    Is your ministry all polish?

    Polishing Doorknobs There is an old saying when something is futile or a waste of time and money. Doing (whatever) is like polishing doorknobs on the Titanic.

    Going into a new year, God wants to give us the gift of a clean slate, a fresh beginning.

    I’ve got to admit something; I started working on this message the week before Christmas, and I’ve got to tell you something: working on a message for the week after Christmas the week before Christmas is no easy task.

    The road ahead is about to get rocky, but, we have reason for hope.

    It’s hard to believe another year has come and gone. It’s 2009 and what makes this new year unique is there’s more reason for pessimism than optimism at what it will bring.
