How many could use a little calm in your life today? I’m sure we can all relate to times when we were afraid, worried or stressed. Christmas time is a very hectic time. It’s not all “Peace on the Earth, good will toward men.” People fight the crowds to travel […]
Redman and Wounded Knee!
I’ve told you about “Redman,” the man who challenged me to bring church to the streets of Houston. So I accepted the challenge and started Friday night street services. What I didn’t tell you, is that soon after we had started our services, I noticed that Redman was not […]
