Our nation has arrived at the point where national polls have far more to do with what legislation is passed than any consideration as to whether it is moral or right. Of even greater concern is that moral issues, many of them opening or closing the doors to heaven, are being decided by what the majority of our peers are thinking. We…

So many wonderful things are happening in the lives of our young people, and we all rejoice as we see them growing into mature adults. Last week, there were fourteen of them involved in the Leadership Training Class, and on Sunday we saw just the level of their devotion and spirituality. For more than fifteen years, we have had some young person…

Sometimes, the old King James Version is the clearest translation to see the message God gave. We no longer use the word “ye” as the plural of “you,” but they did in the days of King James. The modern usage of the word “you” makes it impossible for us to see if the word is singular or plural. People from the southern…

David made an amazing vow to God when he said, “Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house, or go up to the comfort of my bed; I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, until I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob” (Psalm 132:3-5).…

BFF is used to describe one who is your “best friend forever.” SMH is “shaking…

The attitude of the psalmist toward worshiping God stands in stark contrast to the attitude of many Christians. There is no scripture which better reflects the kind of heart we must have in worship than Psalm 84. If the words of this psalm seem foreign to your attitude toward worship, it is imperative that you work on your attitude and change it.…

We are creatures of habit, whether we think about it or not. You likely put socks on the same foot first each day. You start brushing your teeth at the same location in your mouth each day.
