    Does God Love, Love Making? You cannot turn on secular television without seeing an ongoing solicitation that is sexual in nature. In most cases these are most likely a perversion of the sex that God approves of for man. But does He love, love making.

Included in all of that is laughter. The Bible very clearly states that there is a time for laughter. I ...read more

     | 5,575 views

    There are many preachers today who mishandle God’s Holy Writ--some use it to make money and teach false doctrine, some use it to beat people over the head, some use it to justify wicked habits and styles of living; look into II Timothy 2 and find out how God wants His servants to use His word!

    Every believer is a manager or steward of God’s blessing on his or her life. If Jesus judged the stewardship of other He will judge mine too,

The pursuit of excellence will most always seem foreign to those on the OUTSIDE looking IN!
