Ablaze for God!

There is an old book by this same title, “Ablaze for God,” that every believer should read. You can click here to get it form Amazon.

Our Marching Orders

What if I told you I know exactly what God wants you to do this week? Would you say I’m nuts? A religious wacko? An arrogant swindler? We tend to regard such self proclaimed prophets as either liars or nut jobs. And, for the most part, I agree. But what if I told you my […]
