GETTING R.E.A.L. ABOUT ASKING FOR MONEY

Asking people for money is one of the most exciting things in the world. Most of us aren’t fortunate enough to earn a living working on something we love.

Why go to the Theater - Bring the Theater to You!

So, have you gone to the movies lately? Let's face it, in this day and age, going to the movies isn't what it's cracked up to be.

ANYONE AWAKE OUT THERE?

As we reel from the news of the recent bombings in London, England, it is incumbent upon all of us to examine, seriously, why such attacks by Islamic Extremists are occurring.

Treachery in the Midst of the Land

Do You Have a Vision?

You must absolutely have a vision, or a dream, for your life.Your dream is what will cause you to jump out of bed in the morning instead of waking up with anxiety or dread for the day ahead.

Numbers in the Bible: Amazing

Underneath the Hebrew and Chaldee of the Old Testament and the Greek of the New Testament there is hidden an extraordinary disposition of numbers which cannot be explained away by human intelligence.

WHOSE LAND?

It is interesting that everyone is so hung-up on the debate regarding who has official rights to The Land known historically as “The Land of Canaan.” If we go back far enough, we discover the near Middle East was settled by descendants of Canaan, thus the region was referred to as "The Land of Canaan."

God Has a Plan for Your Success
