    Stop Telling God What To Do

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 103 views

    How Prayer Changes Us Before It Changes Anything Else. Prayer is not controlling outcomes but aligning with God’s heart, trusting Him fully, and joining His transforming work in people’s lives.

And the moment they come out of your mouth, the atmosphere shifts. Forks freeze above plates. Eyes widen. Someone nearly inhales a dinner ...read more

    How Is Your Memory?

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 12, 2025
     | 135 views

    Did you know our memory is a gift from God? God has given us many wonderful gifts, but our Memory is one of the great gifts God has given us. Just think about it!!! Wouldn’t it be a terrible to live our entire life on earth and when we die nobody remembers that we ever existed!!!

    • This is why we all want to leave behind a good legacy of ourselves so that our family and friends will remember us. • That is why when we die and people attend our funeral service the minister can remind people of the godly life we lived. Memory is a wonderful GIFT FROM GOD!!! Illus: Dr. ...read more
