Expressions from our Partners


Brothers,
I often think about Psalm 133.  I learned that (Scripture) a long time ago in college, but never understood it until I met you men. - Wil Haynes

1 John 2:15 - Reminds us not to love or cherish this present world.  I would like to encourage all of us to take heed to these words.  The world can have many trappings that can destroy your dreams and goals in life.  So let us pull closer to God and allow him to direct our life. - Derrick A. Osborne

I was promoted this month! I received several requests to start a Bible Study by co-workers on my job. I read 2 Samuel 22.  It shows the love and protection of our Heavenly Father.  He runs to our defense in a time of trouble.  - Steven Jefferson, Sr.


Obedience – Genesis 6 & 7
Noah had obedience even when he was humiliated. That’s great obedience. They laughed at him, mocked him, and teased him and he was still obedient. While everybody else was having fun and merry he was obedient building his ark and getting the animals like he was supposed to. See that land had never received rain before (if that was me I would’ve been like, “forget that this land hasn’t never rain, so why all of a sudden it’s going to rain.” Now that’s foolishness) But Noah obeyed him no matter how dumb it sounded, that’s the greatest obedience I have ever heard of except Jesus obeying his Father until torcher and physical death. Now that’s the greatest obedience. Noah obeyed God and everybody else didn’t listen but Noah and his family survived while everybody else died.                   – Derrick Osborne Jr.
