TARGET

People ask me periodically why I shop at Walmart? With a smile but no less serious I share as a preacher of the Gospel I already have TARGET on my back! The truth is we are marked men (and women) when we live for God. The Bible reminds us “We are not ignorant of Satan’s [...]

ESTEEM

ESTEEM and HONOR are two words that are seldom heard and when used are not always in proper context. The Bible notes in Phillipians 2:3 “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves (KJV).” Check out the same passage in New American Standard [...]

THE ASSIST

My friend, Ronnie Dean “The Preaching Machine” of Missouri shared with me a story six months ago that really resonated with me.
