“…the place where you are standing is holy ground.” (Exodus 3:5b NIV) During the latter month of August and the first few weeks of September in the year 1990, I was busy reaching out to the community, letting people know that Salt Of The Earth Church would have it’s inaugural service on September 21. I was still attending my home church on Sunday, but after receiving the permission and...

“One day while Moses was taking care of the sheep and goats of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, he led the flock across the desert and came to Sinai, the holy mountain. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him as a flame coming from the middle of a bush. Moses saw that the bush was on fire but that it was not burning up. “This is strange,” he thought. “Why isn't the...
