Tithing to Christ Gods Word declares profound earth shattering statements that exposes the cause of the evil in our world. Here is one of those earth shattering statements, inspired by God to Paul in his first letter to Timothy. It is a warning to Christians of the trap Satan has set and admonishing those many believers who are caught in this web that so easily ensnares us. (I Tim. 3/10) “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." Satan uses every weapon in his arsenal to drive a wedge between us and the will of our Eternal Father. This weapon, the ‘love of money ' is at the very root of our sinful carnal natures. It feeds our instinctive fears and doubts and our innate desire to captain the ship of our own destiny through the waters of our own choosing. These will be the very same waters that engulfed Lucifer in his self pride, steering him away f...

Here Are 8 Freedoms to Thank God for This Independence Day Guy Hatcher The Legacy Guy The Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, and announced the separation of the thirteen American colonies from Great Britain. With this, a new nation was formed—the United States of America. History verifies Thomas Jefferson as the composer of the original draft. Once completed, Jefferson submitted his draft to Benjamin Franklin and John Adams for their changes. Eventually, it made its final destination to Congress where it was amended for the last time. Today, we see in its detailed wording why Congress was declaring independence from Great Britain. The most quoted line from the Declaration is "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” Our forefathers were declaring ...

"Worship is a cruciely important act of singing praises and of giving honor to our God. God desires and longs for our worship through instruments and song. But worship goes beyond singing songs of praise, worship and thanks: Doing our best, daily, to live our lives as Christ did is an act of worship: attending church faithfully is an act of worship; giving of our time, talents, gifts and money are all acts of worship. Worship brings us into the presence of God. Are you feeling happy? Shout praises to God. Are you feeling lonely, depressed, hurt, sad, betrayed, ressentful, bitter, unforgiving and angry? Put on some Christian praise and worship music, or just start singing your favorite worship song, and I guarantee your mood and attitude will improve greatly. Worship, through music, is an important part of my relationship with Jesus and part of my daily routine. Below are some of my favorite worship songs. Just hit the play button and enjoy." -Pastor Gregg

The more I deal with, the more expeirence I get, the more I respect and even trust many inmates in the COUNTY jail. Often, I even respect them more than a good portion of church folks. Why? Here are a few reasons: 1) At least 90% of them have some sort of addiction. 2) A majority of them got caught for the same thing you did today but you didn't get caught. 3) They tend not to be phoney, hidding behind their sin. 4) They want mercy and an escape of the consequences of their wrongs/sin, but they are often very open and transparent and willing to be held accountable. 5) Many of them say and admit that they have faults (not tongue-in-cheek like us) and want better lives and characters. 6) They are genuine when they say "I'm lost, hurt, and broken". 7) They are real. 8) They have more courage in their pinkies than most of us altogether.The list is endless. Do I see flaws in them and their characters? Absolutely. But do I also see a broken and lost people with an openes...

In this Q&A, Max Lucado (@MaxLucado) talks about his book, Anxious for Nothing: Finding Calm in a Chaotic World (Thomas Nelson, 2017). “POWERFUL” -Pastor Gregg, Next Steps Ministries Max Lucado: Anxiety disorders in the United States are the number one mental health problem among women and are second only to alcohol and drug abuse among men. Some say the United States is now the most anxious nation in the world. The land of the Stars and Stripes has become the country of stress and strife. This is a costly achievement. Stress-related ailments cost the nation $300 billion every year in medical bills and lost productivity, while our usage of sedative drugs keeps skyrocketing; just between 1997 and 2004, Americans more than doubled their spending on anti-anxiety medications like Xanax and Valium, from $900 million to $2.1 billion. The Journal of the American Medical Association cited a study that indicates an exponential increase in depression. People of each generation in ...
