Blessed be the name of the Lord

The sun is shining, the holiday is ended, the world goes on this day after Christmas.  I’m struck by the ordinary things of this day.  Back to work, back to ordinary life and its ordinary chores, back to the truth of His love in giving us this life we lead.  While I look forward to [...]

We continue…

We appreciate everyone’s prayers as we continue to strive to walk in the Spirit.

The only thing the Father is [...]

The young pastor they interviewed said he believed homosexuality was a sin, but that it didn’t need to be “preached” against. Okay, why can’t I just burn all the parts [...]
