When was the last time you invited someone to church?  As Christians, we are called on and equipped to be witnesses for Christ  Acts 1:8, and we are to tell people the Good News about being a Christian.  The Apostle Paul wrote (Rom 10:10-15) that people become believers by hearing the Good News and that the [...]

Dear Friends,
We asked for it, we got it.  We are in the middle of a few days of pretty constant rain in North Texas.  Thanks Lord, we really needed it.  I am not excited about cleaning out the pool, but it is better than having to replace all the dead [...]
