Early voting for Kingsport BOE and BMA elections has begun. The official election date is May 5th for the City of Kingsport. I urge you to be know the issues. Know your candidate’s voting records and public positions on various issues. As a conservative, I most definitely look at whether […]
Isaiah 5
I was talking with a friend the other day. It seems as if the Lord is currently restructuring the church. With evil taking a stronger hold and encroaching in this world, it is important for the church to be bold in preaching the Gospel. With many denominations bowing to secularism(the […]
Isaiah 49
God is not going to forget us. We are quite literally written upon his hands. Isaiah 49: 15-16… Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! 16See, I have engraved […]
John Wesley’s Message to William Wilberforce

The shadow of death had surely descended upon this place. On the middle cross, an innocent man was nailed. Earlier in the day, the crowds had […]
The Passover
It was a night unlike any other. The Angel of Death struck down the first born of Egypt. Hebrew people had taken lamb’s blood and marked their doorways so that tragedy would pass over them. Jesus would come to Jerusalem for Passover. He would give up His life as our […]
