Would You Like Some Fries With That Order of Jesus?

Mick Turner
One of the advantages of the recent health issues I have been dealing with is that the forced cutback in my workload has given me a bit more time to indulge in one of my favorite pastimes: reading. A few weeks back I was looking through some notes I had taken from several short [...]

Wise Words for Today

 
When we discover that our hearts are broken and contrite, we come to the Lord with an earnest desire to repent of our sinfulness. It’s out of this repentant heart that we find redemption in Christ.

Mick Turner
Many sincere Christians within all denominational groups, as well as those in non-denominational churches, are aware that something significant is missing in their walk with Christ.
