"The Goose Bump Church Of The Itching Ears"---"Make me feel good and tell me what I want to hear." Too much of that these days.

There are no great men of God... just tiny, unworthy, sinful men who are touched, changed and blessed by a merciful and kind and faithful and great God!! Enough of the celebrity and star worship in the church. Enough of being impressed by clay! "Father ...glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify Thee...:... Continue Reading →
