A local man says that he is doing just that, as he has taken the necessary steps to, as he said, get his life back in order. He shared that he is recovering from some things that can take c...

Those who bought into this theory of Willie Lynch, helped the bondage of slavery continue until today. The devil is a liar and deceiver, the teaching of homosexuality in schools is another of Satan’s devices to destroy God's creation. Those who have bought into it are helping carry on his rebellious mission against God's divine order for the earth, bringing souls into bondage (Romans 10:3). Let's discern w...
