Is Mother's Day Another Hallmark Holiday?

Contributed by Robert Butler on May 4, 2020

God’s utilization of women throughout history to advance the kingdom validates the scriptural endorsement that men and women are made in the image of God.

"If The Church Would Just Pray"

Contributed by Bishop William Bryant Wilmore, Jr. on Aug 17, 2003

When Peter was in prison, awaiting what appeared to be a sure execution, the church prayed without ceasing for him and Peter was set free by an angel of the Lord. Powerful things happen the church prays.

The Apostle Peter is on death roll and all petitions to commute his sentence have been exhausted. ...read more
