Be a Good Steward of Your Body

Are You Ready for Christ’s Return?

How bad is the world going to have to get before God finally steps in and Jesus comes back? I get very concerned when I see all the evil things that are happening in the world today. Are we living in the last times?

Why Even Go to Church?

My husband was transferred to a new city last year, but we've been busy and haven't gotten around to looking for a church. But since he's probably going to be transferred again in less than a year, why should we bother now? We'd barely get to know anyone.
