    Many people do understand that certain things shouldn’t be happening to them but they end up asking their WHY questions from false prophets, witch doctors. etc. you will never get a true answer from such people. You need to ask God directly.

    Why is this happening to me? Has this been your question lately? Have u inquire from God or do you just take it as a normal thing that happens to everyone. My son is very inquisitive, He wouldn’t let anything pass without posing a question  about ‘why is that’? Why does my hand sweat so ...read more

    When God chooses a person to do his work, he does so with perfect insight and understanding of what kind of person he needs to get the job done. Our role is not to question his instructions but rather to submit and obey.

    I love the movie “A Christmas Story”. You know – the one with the young boy who dreams of getting a b.b. gun for Christmas. It’s got schoolyard bullies and neighbors dogs roaming through the house, and childhood dreams and memories of the way life used to be all wrapped up in one. This year ...read more

    Saul's reign will be marked with insecurity and fear. From the begining he was reluctant to rule God's people and his fear defined his reign.

    TEXT: I Samuel 10 Review of chapter 9: Saul was out looking for donkeys, not a throne, when he meets Samuel and is overwhelmed by the news that he, himself, is to be the king. He protests that he is unworthy, from an insignificant tribe and family. Samuel and Saul sat up all night talking ...read more

    A simple Thanksgiving message that focuses on two attitudes. The attitude of selfishness and the attitude of Thankfulness. The message closes out with the one thing that Christians should truly be thankful for and that is the Price that Jesus paid.

    “ARE WE TRULY THANKFUL?” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Rudyard Kipling, author of “The Jungle Book”, at one time was so popular that his writings were getting ten shillings per word.

    “Do not be anxious” about what you will eat and drink. “Do not be anxious” about what you will wear. “Do not be anxious” about tomorrow

    It’s so appropriate that all our money has the motto, “In God We Trust.” To understand why it’s there, you have to go all the way back to the Civil War when a Pennsylvania pastor requested the Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase, place a Christian motto on our currency. Because of this ...read more
