Making Music (Power of Marriages/Unity)
Each of us was created in a unique, special way. Each of us presents a different form of worship to God with our different personalities, desires, interests, and backgrounds. As we grow with God we begin to make a sweet melody to Him through our worship to Him. We soon find comfort zones with…

Praying in Jesus’ Name
Tim Hughes – At Your Name Recently I have been reading “Bible Doctrine” by Wayne Grudem, his 450 page “cliff notes” to his 1,200 page Systematic Theology book.
