Knowing God

by Brad

There is no one like our God! Nothing and no one compares to Him! And, only He can truly satisfy the thirsty soul! Yet in our culture, these are not self-evident truths. Why? Think about it, King David witnessed God’s marvelous acts of power. He partook of divine blessings. He saw God fight on behalf […]

What is Happening with God’s Bride?

by Brad

Have you become complacent and or lost interest in church? I ask because God’s Church, His people, doesn’t seem to be paying very close attention to what He has to say about His Bride (She is forgiven, sanctified, powerful, and loved)! Hear me out before you begin bashing the preacher! Statistics show that as many […]

Good Work?

by Brad

A construction company in Detroit has as their motto, “We do good work.” It’s a catchy phrase that grabs your attention. The company uses the slogan on the radio and with television adds which has given them great success. That makes me wonder, do I do good work, does the church do good work, and […]

After Easter

by Brad

Resurrection Sunday was phenomenal! I hope you enjoyed seeing the church packed. How wonderful would it be if that could be the case every week? Well, it can, we just have to get busy inviting! I think God uses spring in a way that stirs people spiritually, and we should be there to remind them […]

He Lives

by Brad

Up from the grave He arose…that will be our mantra this Easter Sunday. Really, that is our hymn every day! Or at least it should be! Consider this; of all the people of the earth, a very small percent will actually celebrate the resurrection of Jesus as Savior. Yet God has placed the Church (all […]

Invite Family and Friends

by Brad

This is supposed to be a wonderful and joyous time of year. There are so many things to celebrate: winters turn to spring, warmth filling the air, the evening’s sun still bright past 6:00 pm, oh, and the most wonderful thing…our celebration of the Resurrection of King Jesus!! There is nothing more glorious than to […]

It’s a New Day!

by Brad

This morning I was enjoying some quality time with my Jesus, when all of the sudden something profound hit me. It was like I was seeing creation for the very first time, or the first time in a long time. It was as though I had been color blind and a rainbow unleashed its beauty […]

Looking unto Jesus

by Brad

Well friends, I’m back! Maybe not the words you where looking for. At any rate, I had a good few days away. As I was away I learned something; there are a lot of things to distract us from what we should truly be focused on. Our world is loud and chaotic and the noise […]

According to history.com, Independence Day, better known as the July 4th has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1941, but the tradition of Independence Day celebrations goes back to the 18th century and the American Revolution (1775-83). In June 1776, representatives of the 13 colonies then fighting in the revolutionary struggle weighed […]
