REPARATIONS and WHITE PRIVILEGE

Listening to all the discussions on both sides, and demands of “reparations” I was thinking about it in a different way. GOD will one day give “reparations” for the suffering His own children went through for the sake of His Kingdom and Gospel. The false-reparation idea for today’s black population because long ago negro-slaves lived… Read more »

Religion vs. Relationship

What does it mean to be delivered from religion? What’s so wrong with being a “religious person?” Jesus didn’t come to start any religion.

The Truth Sets Free

Reading through the book of Jeremiah the prophet (in God’s Word) I’m encouraged by what the LORD GOD says to those who trust in Him: “I WILL SAVE YOU, because you trust in Me.” Jeremiah 39:18 As I see all that we are faced with today (under this wicked administration running our nation) and the… Read more »

Less of Me – More Room for God (by Dori Mckinnon)

No amount of self-love practices or self-help products will ever replace the true fulfillment of God in someone’s life.

We make a list… Read more »

PRAYER UP!

When I am certain that God hears me, I am drawn to eagerly persevere in prayer. I am strong to believe and stand on whatever answer God gives me; remembering that HIS thoughts are higher than mine, and HIS ways are far more productive and sucessful than mine. If only all of God’s servants today… Read more »

Christmas JOY – by Dori McKinnon

The same event that caused Jesus so much grief and sorrow, is the same event that produces joy for the Christian.
