If it’s called a Fast then why is it so slow? (pt 1)
I believe each Christian seeks a closer relationship with Father. Prayer and Bible reading are excellent ways to begin – there is no denying!
But look what God says in 2 Chron 7:14 – if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. Continue reading

So here is the question one of my youth asked, “Do we still have to follow the Law of Moses?”

FaceTime with God
I have a daughter that lives just north of Dallas. She is married and has a son, Barrett. We call him Bear.
I am thankful they do not live in California or New York, where it would take an airliner to get us there and those visits would be few and very far between.
