I do feel that we give to God through the church and that our giving is an expression of love and obedience ...read more

    Every person comes to faith differently. Mary Magdalene was one of the last people at the cross and first to the tomb. Although she was marginalized by society she was a loyal follower of Jesus.

    I HAVE SEEN THE LORD! John 20:1-18 I suppose that one of the reasons that I like history is the fact that it is chronological.
