Till We Meet Again
I recently lost one of my dearest friends, Brad Smith. Actually, I didn’t lose him. I know right where he is… with Jesus.

Madison should have said, “If men were Christlike, no government would be necessary.” Think about that. If we were all sinless, there would be no need to be governed by others. There would...

No King But One
Many in America today are calling President Trump an evil king. If he is, should we still pray for him, honor him, and thank God for him? “I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way... Continue Reading →
