“Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.” – Mark 10:21

The Word On The Street

"I'm out here doing what I think I'm called to do. I've had certain prayers answered, situations that happened a certain way that's led me to believe that this is where the Lord wants me, this is how he wants me, this is what he wants me to put out, and this is what he wants me to say to people. If it quickens their heart, if it does something in them, then I sure pray that it does. And I pray that they gain a personal relationship with Him through that." --Bill
