“His name will be Jesus.” (Luke1:31b Contemporary English Version) Do you remember those school days where you took tests every Friday, or pop quizzes unannounced?  It did not matter what type of test we were quizzed on, and the level of the educational institution had no bearing on our preference for questions that only asked for a one-word answer, like “True” or “False.”  We...

Do you remember how you use to say, “Can’t keep it to myself, I have to tell somebody else?”  Well, I am going to do just that this morning.  The late Dr. Gene Baker, a local, esteemed Senior Pastor, preached a word that would help listeners stay with the church, stay with Christ, and even stay when facing tough situations.  Yes, the Lord used Dr. Baker to let individuals who would go...
