Many people wonder if the many sufferings Jesus endured on our behalf were easier for Him than it would be for a normal man. Since Jesus was God in human flesh, He must have been stronger therefore making it easier for Him to turn down temptation; right? Not at all! In fact, it was more difficult you Him than it is for us. Think about it. We humans has sin in our lives. I have likened it to a filter. We filter through our lives all the experiences that come our way.

Those of you who read this and have been saved may not often think about those souls who have been in darkness most of their lives. They may wonder if anybody is out there. Does anybody care? How many people have expressed their concern for the lost by actually speaking with them about an eternity separated from God. Many of the people who n
Well, here we are again in a new year! It seems but a short while since everyone was wondering about the feared computer shutdown in the year 2000. But, as you can see, we've made it 20 years since then! My oh my! Did you resolve over the New Year celebration to do anything different?
