Spiritual armor Have you ever stopped to really study the armor that God provides? We wouldn’t need armor if we weren’t in a battle or in a global war. If there were no enemies, why would you need to be protected? And this is not a physical armor that God provides, but a spiritual one. […]
God’s Word As we see some products disappearing from the shelves recently, deliveries taking longer, and prices dramatically increasing, what are we to think?

Each of them was attending the meeting to learn how they could be or become the father they wanted to be and knew they were supposed to be. The common request in the […]
Stand firm During the next season, our church is launching into the book of Daniel. It has always been one of my favorites. Such challenging acts of faith.

Ministry and witness In 1983, the University of Houston had one of the greatest basketball teams of all time. Their coach was Guy V. Lewis. They were the PHI SLAMA JAMA! Maybe you remember them. No one could stop them. They ran, ran and ran! They scored at will. They easily made it to the […]
