    When the Catholic church lost the Lord is something only God in HIS loving Wisdom could tell us? HE does speak clearly in the Bible how HE wishes His church to behave and who to allow to be in ministry. It’s all written there. THE BIBLE IS THE ROAD MAP FOR YOUR LIFE.

    Did you hear Nick Wallenda Praise God and call on HIM, constantly, when he did his walk across the grand Canyon? We all heard and it and all glory and Honor goes to Jesus for His Undying Love for HIS believers.We heard it and prayed with Nick to the Lord our God. What a beautiful example ofTrust! What a Witness to HIM!
