On 9-11 our nation needed someone to tell us they understood our fears, our enemy and our future. It needed someone to say they had a plan to deal with our enemy and that together we would overcome. Essentially, that's what Revelation 4 is all about.

They get depressed and they want to come to church for a “Fix” • A social club where they can socialize with ...read more
