    The secret of God’s blessings is to lie low at the feet of Jesus and cry our for mercy! If all you ask for is crumbs off the table, how can God refuse?

    Friends if you listened carefully to the gospel story, it appears as though Jesus was not very inclined to heal the daughter of the Syro-Phoenician woman who came begging him for a miracle. It also seemed as though Jesus had enough and just wanted to get away because scripture tells us that he ...read more

    Solomon’s foolishness is repeated by his son who refuses to listen to the wise counsel of his advisers and instead turns to his younger peers who agree with him.

    By Rev Roy Hamer About thirty years ago Jo and I were involved in Youth Adventure camping. In fact you could say it’s how we met.

    The problem is, however, that too many Christians are walking around with blinders on or those rose colored glasses that cause everything to look like Christ and they refuse to look at reality.

    Repeat the sermon title. Now let’s think about this before we answer. Your answer may be simply; “There ain’t but one ya big dummy! And that’s the one I foller!” But are you sure? If you really look around, you’ll see; if you will but open your eyes you’ll ...read more

    Seems we desire the fire but we will settle for smoke? Are we so good at offering excuses that we refuse to accept accountability and the responsibility for our actions, reactions or no action?

    WHO WILL TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com I love to start with a question. Will you answer this: ARE YOU THE PROBLEM? OR ARE YOU THE SOLUTION?

    Monday of 18th week in course Gospel of Life Poor Hananiah the prophet. He was completely clueless about the mission of a prophet.

It’s shocking and disturbing and I have found over the years that people complain about it because of how harsh it is. It also serves as a good way for us to better understand how to ...read more
