Dear Friend, The year 2015 is over. Last year brought some wonderful victories but also some heart-wrenching tragedies. I’m praising Jesus that He has walked with us through them all and has again and again proven Himself faithful. I’m looking forward to many more victories in 2016. In this new year, we must remember who

We are blessed to have a country with such a rich heritage. On the Fourth of July, we generally celebrate with fireworks, picnics and barbecues, and having a good time.
Dear Friend, The Lord has had me going over First Corinthians 13 a lot recently. This usually occurs when a chain of events has taken place in my life that can be quite trying. I’m sure everyone has experienced this at one time or another. I have a hard time understanding how people who swear
Dear Friend, The love of God is always and will forever be amazing to me. The joy that’s expressed in Heaven when just one sinner comes to God should tell us what’s important. Luke 15:4-7 says: What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety
Dear Friend, Can you imagine what the people felt like when Jesus was crucified? Matthew gives an account of the day Jesus died and the days following, saying: And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And
