Take Your Town For Christ!
Do you love your hometown? Who will reach your town, your Jerusalem for Jesus? Today we meet with pastors from around our region for a time of prayer. This meeting will be held at the convention center where in July 2020 we will be conducting a gospel crusade. The goal is simple – we want to reach our Jerusalem with the truth of Jesus Christ! If each believer and every local congregation could get a vision for souls in their area what a tremendous impact could be made! The Apostle Paul said to a group of people where he had lived for three and a half years, “And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have…

Fanny’s hymns have found their way into great hymn books and, more importantly into the hearts of those who know and love Christ. Blinded as a young girl, she glimpsed with…
Read MoreGreat Expectations
Charles Dickens’ classic novel Great Expectations is on my Kindle. I must confess that I have read…and stopped reading the story several times through the years. It is a strange book. Pip, the young orphan in the tale, provides insight into the ambition of the human heart. We all have it. Great expectations. Some would say it is the driving force behind advancement and progress. Others would admit that it is the root of so much disappointment. Ours is a day of low expectations. Sad people have settled for less because something didn’t turn out the way they thought it should. The problem is not great expectations. The problem is that so often our great expectations are just that – ours.…
