Some are more valid than others and some are just plain lame. I have heard that some girls when asked out on a date, and they did not want to ...read more

    This sermon examines believers and churches that move away from their first love (honeymoon love).

    When my wife and I first married I received a rebuke from one of our senior adult members. I jokingly stated that we were still on our honeymoon.

    My uncle used to say, "Just because a man takes his boots off to go wadin’ don’t mean he plans to swim the Atlantic." That’s smart. When it comes to Angels my advice is study the Scriptures. Let’s examine it together!

    We, as Christians, need to stop being "religious" and humbly start living for Christ.

    Two Men and God Luke 18:9-14 Are you as good as other men or as good as God?

Paul wrote, “There is no one ...read more
