Today, The News before the News!
In the days before Christ came to earth, God sent His prophets to warn His people of impending doom if they didn’t stop their evil behaviors. Think of Noah and the great flood. Many people scoffed at the prophets and didn’t believe them. They met their doom because of it. After Christ, the apostles, baptized…

Today, Do you hear ME?
When we become Christians, the Holy Spirit comes into our lives to guide us and teach us God’s truths. We need to have our spiritual ears open to hear the voice of God. During prayer, I have often asked God to direct me in an important decision. God may not answer me that day, but…

Today, I Choose to Serve the Lord!
Remember the Bible verse, “What profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?” I have pondered on that verse for years. It is so true! Is it worth it to have all the wealth, power, and prestige in this world but end up burning in the fires of hell? Absolutely…
