Yesterday I pondered on this sentence (the title of this column) as I prayed for the salvation of three of my supermarket colleagues. What if God sent me to this job just so three of my fellow co-workers could get saved? I am not saying that I am here only for that purpose, but asking rather. This question was inquired in the Bible […]

Millie’s Column. For this column, I wanted to write about living a pure life before God and man. David was an honorable and holy man that loved God. In fact, in Psalms 17:8 David asks God to keep him as the apple of HIS eye. So in deciding, I thought who better to teach about […]

Millie’s Column I wanted us for this column to take a deeper look at Psalm chapter 1. David states in verse 1: “Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.” Wow! It is a joy not to follow the advice […]
A Monthly Devotional, by Michaela Popielski. Hi guys! I hope you liked my first devotional. If it seemed not so put together I’m sorry. It was my first and I’m getting better at planning.

By Robert Cruz My family has noticed a trend in many churches. The apparent judging of people based on their outward appearance. It has been suggested, by a Pastor I know that the Bible tells us how we should dress and that is partially true. The Bible has a few verses that apply directly to […]
