    Ted Bundy is well known for one thing; he was a serial killer. He was a nice looking young man and he favored killing pretty, dark-haired cheerleader type girls.

After numerous appeals, ...read more

    But we need to hear the REAL Jesus speaking today telling us to WAKE UP to the lies, and get out of the heated water, get OUT of the culture–you are in the world but not OF the world. Not everyone will be let in! We must find our voice to speak up after we WAKE UP!

    When Jesus was born, nobody expected it, and nobody made plans for it. But what it did was mess up everyone’s plans. Our plans don’t always go the way we want. So, when God messes up our plans, what can we do not to allow these plans changes to wreak havoc in our lives?
