    What results does the Lord ship of Jesus bring to the life of His followers? Are their priorities and practices that come from the working of the Holy Spirit in the life of Jesus' saints/disciples.

    Today many fathers have children that they have abandoned due to divorce or other situations. We always talk about the fathers who left; however, we don't celebrate the fathers who stayed. They stayed in spite of the situation they were facng.

    The biggest crisis we have today is that children are not being raised by Fathers. Globally, one-quarter to one-third of all families are headed by single mothers. The United States has the highest. Where are the fathers? Due to this trend, I believe we have many boys and girls growing up ...read more

    The children of Israel have just had a great victory and deliverance from Egypt. They crossed the Red Sea. They are praising the Lord for what He has done.

    In the Baptist churches alone, there are over 1,000 preachers a year that leave the ministry, why? There is no way of numbering the Christians that forsake Christ and His church, just simply give up and quit. Why is this going on? I think the main reason is because of discouragement. I think this ...read more
