The Key to a Powerful Prayer Life
I believe in the power of prayer. I believe that you believe in the power of prayer, or you probably wouldn’t invest the time to go to a prayer meeting, or to spend personal time in prayer. I imagine that you could tell stories of answered prayers in your life, and you can probably quote…

A Message for America
Every Fourth of July, as we celebrate our Independence Day, we sing songs that celebrate the blessings of God upon America.
