Who’s Influencing Who?
I have saying, “No where in the Bible does it say to the church you are to invite the unsaved into your services, nor the ungodly into your assemblies; but I DO read where the church is to go.” Why? If we go out – we influence the world, but if we invite the world in – this… Read more »
Short Term Solutions – Have Long Term Consequences
Short term solution always have long time consequences. What do I mean? Think of any solution the government has come up with in the past that we are not paying the consequences for today.

The best a man can leave for his children is not money, power, fame or his name but a trail to follow; with a trail they will know the way. What does your family say about you? Do they say, “He cut a trail through the jungle of life for them to follow?” Would they… Read more »
Purity before Offerings
