To obey or not obey!
The word of the day is obedience. God is the author and creator of life. God has planned and fashioned your life for success. Ultimately, I believe any success that I have in life is due to following the direction of my creator. Deuteronomy 28:1 “If you fully obey the Lord […]

Move Forward!
Years ago when Starla and I were Pastoring in Houston, I would often go downtown on Saturday and invite the homeless to ride our bus on Sunday to church. I remember talking to man whose street name was “Redman.” I asked him to ride the bus to church, he […]
