    God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. He orchestras divine appointments to accomplish His will. We are called to trust and obey Him. Be amazed at what God can do with our willingness to obey.

    The obedience of one man changes everything. And he is almost an insignificant man. • In the middle of a very dramatic, miraculous story of change, a quite unknown man appears. • It’s easy to miss him, and even if you’ve heard the story of Paul on the road to Damascus many times before, it’s ...read more

    Nowhere does history repeat itself more often than in the realm of romance. James Madison was the forth president of the United States, and he was the chief framer of the Constitution. He was the greatest scholar among the Founding Fathers. But when it came to romance he was no big gun. In fact, ...read more
