  • A WARNING TO THOSE WHO LEAD by M L Floyd

    “Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pastures!” declares the LORD. Jeremiah 23:1 NIV It really doesn’t get any plainer than that. If you are in any type of leadership position God is holding you responsible for those you lead. I use to think of shepherds as only pastors; a shepherd is a person…

  • WHAT GOD HAS JOINED TOGETHER by M L Floyd

    “So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” Matthew 19:6 You cannot force God’s hand by passing laws about marriage.

We even prayed that God would go “get” so-and-so!…

  • Don’t Forget to Praise

    “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” Galatians 5:16 NKJV I am not going to breakdown the word lust, most people associate the word with sexual pleasures -it’s more than that. I am reminded of this verse because I was on the verge of a very HUGE pity party despite…
