Do you remember the story of Chicken Little and his claim, “The sky is falling,” when it really wasn’t? That’s not unlike the many claims we have had over the years from people who have predicted the end of the world. Like Chicken Little, they go around telling nice people that the end of the world is on such and such date, only to have all the air let out of their balloon when it doesn’t come to pass. What really saddens me is that there are people who actually believe these present day Chicken Littles, and put their tru... Full story

Pastor Rudy Verdin Apostolic Assembly In II Corinthians, Apostle Paul compared men to earthen vessels. He implied that, just as a vessel, we are something fragile, inferior, expendable, ordinary, easily chipped, cracked and broken and temporary. One single tap to an earthen vessel is enough to destroy it, just as one bump can crush us. In II Corinthians, 4:6-9, it states that God has placed His treasure in earthen vessels so “that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.” Paul said, “Se...

If I were to open my refrigerator right now, I would find soda, milk, juice, cheese, yogurt, taquitos, and many other wonderful things to eat and drink.

Did you know that every year 6 million children die from hunger-related causes before they reach their fifth birthday? That’s like losing every child under the age of five from California, Texas, New York, Florida and Arizona in...

Oh, how I long for those simple days. A little over a year after we were married a little tyke came into our lowly domicile. Our first daughter was born in the month of August and I rea...

Thomas was one of the 12 disciples, a part of the elite group that Jesus had around him at all times. He heard Jesus’ message, witnessed the miracles he performed, and ate and slept with Jesus...
