I Have a Confession to Make
[youtube INXNqKgov2Y 500 315] Parents, nothing in the world highlights and underscores the transcendent values of God like the church. Sports don't do it. Education doesn't do it.

I want to challenge you to miss three, that’s right, three weekends, three ...

We sometimes need to be reminded of why we do ministry. The calling on my life was given to me when I was 21 years of age.

When God tugged at my heart to follow Him into full time service for His kingdom, it was only because of His call.To this day, I look back over the 28 years of ministry, and ...
