No More Fear! – A Reader’s Response…

Isn’t it funny (or not) how we get caught up (negatively) in the waiting period of God? We begin to question God, we begin to self-doubt, we begin to wonder what in the world is this life all about. We become consumed with things that are completely not of God. Then, Satan gets a foothold and…

Viva Cristo Rey!

Luke 18:1-8 New International Version (NIV) The Parable of the Persistent Widow 18 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in…
