If our faith is to have meaning at all, we must understand our purpose as making a critical difference in the world. As people of faith we should be considered dangerous and a threat to every system and instrument of injustice, destruction, and human alienation.
Whenever and wherever efforts are forged to divide humanity and [...]

John B. Gough once told of sitting in a church service one Sunday morning and hearing a hoarse, discordant voice singing behind him. The voice was so bad that he truly felt sorry for its owner. The closing hymn was, “Just As I AM, Without One Plea” and Gough cringed as he listened to the [...]
Blessed Assurance

We don’t have much assurance in our world today. We have a spiraling inflation….an out of control economy…. Social security and health care are questionable.

God will give me a Testimony when I love Him more than I love life.
God will give me a Testimony when He is more important than life.
