My heart is Yours, only Yours
I long to give You all of me
My everything, my [...]

Don’t question Calvinism because Romans Chapter 9 says not to

If we want to literally translate [...]

5,4,3,2,1 Here comes God’s hand - JUMP
I have heard an analogy for salvation from several different preachers/pastors/teachers that always seemed odd to me. I will attempt to paraphrase the analogy…

Do you ever find yourself yelling at the wall because you feel you are on the edge of losing it? Perhaps you have been picked on for being a Christian or your job just is not going the way you want. You look at your life and it seems you get nothing you have asked [...]

I often wonder if the first true Valentine’s Day occurred just over 2000 years ago on the cross at Calvary.

Time to put on your cowboy hat and slip on the country western boots…

Talking bout’ the options and talking bout’ sweet times.
