Tainted Mirrors
We have allowed agitators; men with selfish agendas, delinquency and greed for political power take away the validity of our cry. We are lacking the spiritual force to inspire true change.

Allowing the Devil to Come into our Marriages
If you have been in church a month, especially in a Pentecostal church, you know that the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10).

The Main Responsibility of a Pastor Hebrews 13:17 tells us “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.” (KJV) If the soul […]

Supporters of Hate
A Republican or a Democrat is not necessarily filled with hate because of their political affiliation. A disagreement is not hate. We are using and abusing the word hate as much as we are using and abusing the word racist. On the other side of each ideologies is where hate is found; why? Because […]
