Jesus Ruined My Life

Because of Jesus, I moved half-way across the country away from all my family and friends who unconditionally love me. When I finally got to know Jesus, [...]

Today I found [...]

“Are you hurting? Pray. Do you feel great? Sing. Are you sick? Call the church leaders together to pray and anoint you with oil in the name of the Master. Believing-prayer will heal you, and Jesus will put you on your feet. And if you’ve sinned, you’ll be forgiven – healed inside and out. Make [...]

“Is worship a priority to you?” a pastor asked a man over breakfast. “I think it is. I don’t quite understand it to be honest with you. In fact, I’m a little uncomfortable at times. If you are talking about the time in the service where we stand and sing and some people raise their [...]
