Weekly Inspiration

“We don’t stop playing because we get old. We get old because we stop playing.”

~Satchel Paige~

Prayer Of The Week

The Ten Commandments

To Moses, God gave two small plaques of stone with words of law to help us lead our lives. Today some people would these words disown and purge these words forever from our lives. But man cannot expel the Living God, whose word is living in his children’s hearts. A monument may fall and hit the sod, but God will never from his own depart. Are we prepared to suffer for our Lord, as evil seems to gain the upper hand? Lets stand for Christ and serve our Mighty God, and pray that he will heal our native land. Lord Jesus, hear your children when we pray, and move your Spirit through this land today.
