Fill This Temple

Contributed by Larry Grant on Nov 20, 2021

There are some in the Christian community that suggest that politics and religion should never work together. Some in the public square that suggest that religious leaders ought to stay out of politics and concern themselves with only the spiritual. But God has the final say on this matter!

What God Can Do With A Happy Meal!

Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 20, 2021

Often we feel like our resources are inadequate. "There's no way God can use me." But we find that God delights to use weak things because it redirects people to Him. Little is much when God is in it.
