Send us Fan Mail God gave Ten Commandments for people to live in a peaceful and prosperous society. The religious leaders later multiplied those ten into a few hundred.

Let's see if He can simplify yours.

Send us Fan Mail When buildings were build back in the ancient days, the builder used large rocks that were carved into squares. Where the corners of the walls met, those stones overlapped, holding the building together. They were called the "cornerstones." To leave out the cornerstone, was to allow the building to collapse.

Send us Fan Mail Let's be honest. There aren't many people in the world who would not welcome riches or rewards. But wait! Is there a difference? Riches seem to be along the lines of what we get from the system of this world, but could rewards be that which is given by God? Listen carefully and you decide which one is worth living for.

Send us Fan Mail The sacrifice of Christ is a world changer. It will change anybody's world!

Send us Fan Mail There are two negatives and one positive action in our relationship with the Holy Spirit.
