    There are many advantages of living in a small community. One of the things you will notice immediately is how friendly people are, and how much they care for each other.

That is so different from people who ...read more

    What The Bible Teaches About Cremation

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 28, 2021
     | 5,170 views

    For example, as Christians: • We can not allow others to do our thinking for us when it comes to deciding what is RIGHT and what is WRONG. • We can not just ignore these issues we face and hope they will go away. Through the ages of time, God’s people have had to face difficult situations in ...read more
