  • Pastor's Corner

    Mar 27, 2024

I can't recall a single Easter morning when I wasn't in Church, celebrating the Resurrection of my Savior, Jesus Christ. But it's not just about being in Church; it's about understanding the profound importance of Jesus' death, burial, and Resurrection. In I Corinthians 15:3,4, it's written, 'For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures and that He was buried, and that He...

Only a president of the United States, while serving as such, has authority to have these in his possession and he is protected by the Presidential Records Act. No one in US history is more guilty of having classified documents, a serious crime normally punishable by many years in prison for each off...
