LGBT Came to Church
This past Sunday afternoon we had just completed a nice Sunday/New Year’s family dinner together with my mother and father in law, as well as my wife’s sisters and their crews when my phone rang.

Time for Renewal
As I entered the house from a tiring day of strenuous manual labor from using a chain saw to trim and cut down trees, my body needed to be renewed. What is true of our physical man is also true of our spiritual man. From time to time, we need to be renewed spiritually. Are […]
