There has always been a battle for the Bible.

What are we looking for in a relationship? We are all like lost sheep, helpless and can’t defend ourselves. So we look for someone who will provide us security. Someone who will provide us food and lodging and protect us when we need be. Someone who will always be there for us no matter what. […]

I have a fairly interesting story. My Mom was raised in an orphanage and my Dad grew up during the depression. Both are extremely conservative and I was drilled daily to be independent and to never trust anyone. I lived in a large travel trailer the first six years of my life and we moved […]

An amazing fulfillment of prophecy occurred on May 14,1948. After 2,000 years of being scattered all over the earth Israel became  a nation. The Bible states that Israel will be born a nation in 1 day and that is exactly how it occurred. After World War II there were only 7 million Jews left on […]
