Not Exactly Your Typical Closing Song for Church This is now the time of God's acceptance, a time when all people, no matter their past, can have a relationship with God. Today we encouraged people to consider their relationship with God...now.

"When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every Americanwas to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Far too many people are so focused on what they want and require in a relationship that they never think about what they bring to the table or how they can make someone else happy. Love is giving, not just receiving.
