MARK THE HAND OF GOD Forget not all His benefits. Psalms 103:2 It is so easy to forget. Many of us get stuck on ungrateful, “What have you done for me lately?” If we were able to see clearly we would be humbled by His constant care for us and speechless at His perfect detail …
VICTORY CELEBRATION 2013 This is a very special year for Parris and I. We have declared the whole of 2013 as a year of celebration. Forty years ago our lives were drastically and permanently changed. What happened? First of all we were born again. Christ revealed His amazing love for us to us. We …
