I did some research on the people who watch our online services on YouTube. I wanted to know if we were hitting the mark and where we might need to adjust, so that God’s Word put in today’s words can take root. I casually asked what topics they would like to learn more about. The […]
Read moreDid you know that demons aren’t atheists? Even these beings whom Satan controls believe in God. They know God, and they know that they will face Him one day.

Read moreA youngish man stood at the traffic lights greeting everyone with a salute and a big smile. You could see he’d been exposed to the elements for some time. I couldn’t make out what was written on his sign board, since it had also come a long way. But I could make out the last […]
