Intervention is not the Answer

I remember the frustration even anger I felt when a well known televangelist called for the assassination of Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez.
Chavez has been hostile toward our country not just in rhetoric but in his policy and procedure within his borders, as well as drawing other nations into this web along the way.

Don’t Push the Issue

I know there is much media both in and out of Christianity talking about signs of the Apocalypse and questioning where we are and how long before it happens.

It Starts at the Top
