    The government spends large amounts of money to help people and they think they are better off because of all the services the government provides them. They send their money to Washington and are happy for all the government does for them. However, they don’t realize that for every dollar they send, they only get…

    Down through history Christians have reached out to those in need and helped them. As a result, the church has always been highly respected in the community, even among unbelievers. However in recent years, the church has turned that over to the government which now distributes the vast amount of aid to those in need…

    People wonder why Christians are so hated today. Part of it is the way many act, who call themselves Christians. I have seen many leave the church because of lying, cheating, and stealing by church leaders. That is regrettable, but it is more than that, it is the way Christians are seen by unbelievers. Part…

    In 2001, terrorists struck the twin towers. I believe God allowed that to tell us that He would no longer protect us unless we turned back to Him.

    While people tend to become absorbed in the present, they fail to see the long term changes. When I started ministry in 1970, Christian values prevailed in this country.

Few people got to know their neighbors because they were basically bedroom communities where people slept, but they worked and shopped elsewhere. Similar conditions existed in many of the cheaper apartment complexes. In addition, people…
