INTRODUCTION: God wants every church to be a “normal” church. What is normal? Webster’s dictionary says, “conforming to a standard.” God has given the standard for His church. When we compare the church in the book of Acts with our churches today, we fall so far short of God’s standard. ...read more

I believe with all my heart this morning that Christians have the most to be thankful for! Why, Psalm 48:1 states; “Great is the Lord; and greatly to be praised."

I believe we live in a very ungrateful, self-satisfying world that has forgotten how to be thankful. I am proud to be an American and I am thankful for the price that many a ...read more
