Devotional of the Day:
"What do you T.A.L.K about?" (Aug 25, 06, 9:11 A.M)
We read about the disciples talking about things they did not have especially bread even though on two different occasions Jesus met the needs of the crowd that ranged in 9000+ including the women. Now, the disciples who were only 12 in the boat were worried about not having bread. They were discussing something negative without holding on to the hope that Jesus will minister and take care of their needs. What we talk about can influence us in a positive way or negative way. When we talk about positive things and focus on the Lord, our outlook on life will be more positive and our dependence will be on the Lord.....

�Demystifying Dan Brown�s Delusional Deceptive Da Vinci Code: Lie #3: The Bible is a by product of man and not of God!" (July 25, 06)

There are more than 108 lies in the Da Vinci Code that Brown wants people to believe as fact in a fictional novel. My job will be to expose the lies and present the truth. We will be looking at LIE # 3.....
