Prayers of Brother Andrew Part I
I have to admit that I have always struggled with having a consistent disciplined prayer life. Yes I am a Pastor but my life is as a disciple of Christ is a work in progress. I guess until Jesus returns I always will be. Over the past several years I have found myself keying on […]
Nothing Between Us and Christ

The Early to Rise Experience – A Book Review
I have never been a morning person. I have never even been close to being a morning person. I could sleep ten hours and still getting up would be a pain. However, I need to get up early. I need the discipline and I need the quiet early hours to study God’s Word, to pray […]
Do Nothing But…
