Bizarre Beliefs

Can you imagine someone trying to convince you that they are in the military when they aren’t?

Back to Westview

Today a small group from the church will be traveling to Westview Boys Home for five days of mission work.  This will be our third trip to Westview.  We don’t know exactly what lay in store for us, but that’s just part of the adventure of missions.

We know that, based upon our group, we’ll likely be doing something that can be classified loosely under the title of construction.

Don’t Chase Religious Experiences

One of the most dangerous things a person can do is to chase religious experiences.  It’s helpful to understand that what I mean by “religious experiences” is signs from God and strong feelings.
