Do you emphasize Bible study and doctrinal instruction, stressing the importance of attendance in a Sunday school or small group setting where Gen Zers can learn the content of the Christian faith?Read More
Churches often stress that marriage is important and ideally the lifelong covenant union between two people who pledge to be faithful, loving, caring, and committed. But prior to the exchanging of vows, there is often an engagement phase, and a dating period before that.
Long before the wedding day, there is a first date, and hopefully a second, and so on. As Generation Z grows and matures, they are learning how to date. How are they doing?Read More
Students in their senior year of high school (and sometimes junior year as well) often cast an eye toward the future. We ask students, “What do you want to major in next year?” and “Where are you going to college?”
But would Gen Zers be better off by delaying college for one year?Read More

Children of church members were attending college, only to reject the faith of their parents.
Jones later recalled that in 1924, his friend William Jennings Bryan had leaned over to him at a Bible conference service in Winona Lake, Indiana, and said, "If schools and colleges do not quit teaching evolution as a fact, we are going to become a nation of atheists." While he himself was not a college graduate, Jones grew determined to found a college, and on September 12, 1927, he opened Bob Jones College in Panama City, with 88 students.
The NBER's Business Cycle Dating Committee maintains a chronology of the U. A recession is a period between a peak and a trough, and an expansion is a period between a trough and a peak.
The chronology comprises alternating dates of peaks and troughs in economic activity.
Other reasons for living together include convenience, financial savings, companionship and security, and a desire to move out of their parents house.
What social science says about cohabitation Cohabitation and Catholic Church teaching Every act of sexual intercourse is intended by God to express love, commitment and openness to life in the total gift of the spouses to each other.
In both recessions and expansions, brief reversals in economic activity may occur-a recession may include a short period of expansion followed by further decline; an expansion may include a short period of contraction followed by further growth.
This is an understandable misconception, since many people are the children of divorce, or have other family members or friends who have divorced.
Jones said that although he had been averse to naming the school after himself, his friends overcame his reluctance "with the argument that the school would be called by that name because of my connection with it, and to attempt to give it any other name would confuse the people." Bob Jones took no salary from the college and helped support the school with personal savings and income from his evangelistic campaigns. The Florida land boom had peaked in 1925, and a hurricane in September 1926 further reduced land values. Bob Jones College barely survived bankruptcy and its move to Cleveland, Tennessee in 1933.
However, Jones's move to Cleveland proved extraordinarily advantageous.
This total commitment is possible only in marriage.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church points out that some couples claim a right to live together if they intend to marry later on.


The Truth Behind… Noah’s Ark
National Geographic, 60 minutes
It’s perhaps one of the greatest biblical tales. The story of Noah’s Ark. In a one hour investigation for the National Geographic Channel – The Truth Behind… Noah’s Ark divides fact from fiction. Exploring Durupinar, the site in Eastern Turkey that many believe is where the Ark came to rest; we put religious faith and science head to head. Using CGI, extraordinary experiments and personal accounts from both Ark supporters and non-believers, the film explores just how plausible this biblical epic really is?


Words of Grace, Winter 2006-2007
"Every home should have a room set apart for books, where they may be arranged in order, and kept neat and clean. A good book is a beauty, in and out, and everywhere. But great caution is necessary in the selection of reading matter. The world is flooded with a muddy overflow of literary trash.”
This Issue’s Book Review: “The Liberty of Obedience”, by Elisabeth Elliot
Probably most of you by know have heard of or watched The End of the Spear, the recent movie release about martyred missionaries trying to share the gospel with the Auca Indians of South America. Elisabeth Elliot was one of the widowed wives who returned with her three year old daughter to live with that same tribe of people.
In her book, The Savage My Kinsman, she writes about her life with them. The Liberty of Obedience explains how she studied the essential tenets of the Christian faith in order to share them. She questioned, "And would we have the grace to let that Word operate as He wanted it to, or would we hold out our own notions or the effect it should have?" This is an interesting question for everyone interested in sharing the gospel in a cross-cultural setting. Or to help all of us understand more clearly what cultural trappings we may have absorbed into our own Christian faith. Elliott discusses her examinations about the teachings and examples of Christ regarding the appearance of evil, possessions & the heart, service for God, and Christian maturity. These questions will resonate with all of us as we seek to understand and articulate our own faith to our family members and friends, as well as people around us from dissimilar backgrounds.
"A sincere attempt to discover ways in which I might guide the Aucas in making moral choices led me to the realization that I had sometimes called things sinful which the Bible did not call sinful; and if I had imposed these on the Indians, I would have been guilty of the Pharisees' sin of laying burdens too heavy to be borne." (p. 22) In considering the question "what is meant by the appearance of evil," Elliot attempts to discern how to teach a completely different culture about sin and morality. She wrestled with issues like what does modesty really mean when no one ever wears clothes? What about polygamy? How do you avoid the appearance of evil when Christ Himself (who was perfectly sinless) was accused of gluttony, drunkenness and blasphemy? Obviously the issue lies deeper than what a culture calls evil. It must even lie deeper than what our hearts call evil, because "the heart is decitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it? I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings." (Jeremiah 17: 9,10) In examining the life of Jesus, Elisabeth Elliot found that Jesus "frequently offended the sensibilities of religious leaders," especially when they had rejected the spirit of God's law for their own ends (like denying financial assistance to needy parents in order to "give money to God" - see Matthew 15: 1-20). Jesus said to the Pharisees on one occasion, "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?" (Matthew 15:3) But at other times, like when Peter was requested to pay a tax, Jesus replied that they should comply so as not to offend them. Obviously Jesus saw to the heart of people and issues, and was able to discern God's will in each situation. He touched dead and leperous people, rendering Himself ceremonially unclean according to the Pharisees. But in reality He cleansed the unclean by the power of His divinity, just as He called the dead back to life. Elisabeth concludes this fascinating discussion by appealing to the sovereignty and wisdom and mercy of God, "Decisions must be made in the integrity of the heart before God – with an unselfish attention to our brother's good and the glory of God. None of us is capable of plumbing even his own motives, far less those of his brother, so let us be slow to criticize another. Let us not be Pharisees in our certainty of what God could or could not permit." (p. 29)
In another section, Elliot addresses the concept of worldiness for a believer in Christ. She writes, "Paul, as early as AD 62, wrote a letter to a small group of believers who had been plagued by some who set up rules and regulations concerning 'worldly' things. The Colossians, in a sincere effort to forsake the world, had submitted to these rules, and in so doing had actually made themselves part of the world-system.... Throw them off, says Paul – they look wise, they promote an exertion of willpower, but they are worthless in checking the indulgence of the flesh. They have nothing to do with the real issue." (p. 33, Colossians 2) How do we live a godly life? By vigilant self-denial and restraint – trying to be holy as much as we can, or is there a different road? This seems an interesting question for our own GFC church body, with our emphasis on biblical counseling and how people change. (Our church motto is, after all, "Jesus Christ Changing Lives.") Elliot continues to explain, "The Scripture means two things by the _expression, 'the world.' First, and most simply, it means all that is temporal. Second, and by implication, it means all those who are occupied soley with the temporal. The first category comprises things; the second, people."
Elisabeth makes a fascinating observation about Jesus. Although He was completely other-worldly in His spirit, thought, and teaching, "the Lord Jesus...conformed to the world in matters of food, drink, and dress, and even in social situations....He ate what other people ate, drank what they drank – and even in questionable company, and in such a manner that He was accused of being a glutton and a drunkard. Surely He dressed as other men dressed if He was not easily recognized on many occasions. (He even had to be identified by Judas' kiss.)" (p. 34-35) And yet, we cannot help but observe that Jesus seemed relatively unaffected by these things. He just as often could go without food for a long time (at least once His disciples had to remind Him that it was meal time!), or go for long periods of time without sleeping so He could pray. What a living picture for us of someone utterly in the world, yet completely not of it. Elliot gets to the root of our struggle with attaching ourselves unduly to these temporary things. If we set our heart on following after things that are passing away we cannot be also following after Christ, because they are going in opposite directions. "We are not asked to deny ourselves as many things as possible in order to set our hearts on the Eternal. Things are not incompatible with Christ....They are not sinful for this reason. Only human beings may be sinful... It is our use of things that determines their effect on us. It is our response to events, not the events themselves that shapes us. God is more concerned with the heart." (p. 36) When we become enamoured with "things" the world can provide for us – physical comfort, entertainment, acclaim and status, we find our desires manifesting themselves in "rivalries, bitter jealousy, and disharmony." (p. 37) But how do we keep ourselves pure from loving the things of the world more than we ought? Elliot suggests that by we receive God's blessings with thanksgiving, and sanctifying them by the the word of God and prayer. By keeping our eyes and minds on the Giver of all good gifts we may continually give Him our hearts as well. I would also add that practicing contentment and thankfulness in every situation will help us to enjoy Christ even when we don't have quite so many material blessings.
One of the reasons I enjoyed reading this book was because of the focus on the life of Christ. There is nothing like examining the gospels to get your thoughts fixed on Jesus! Elisabeth Elliot's careful analysis of evangelism (or missions) and culture was very interesting, and applicable to the whole postmodern question engaging church culture at the present. Its also interesting to learn more about her life and ministry among the Auca Indians, whom she clearly grew to love and respect. The Liberty of Obedience is engaging and thought-provoking especially as it challenges us to go deeper in our faith and sink our roots into Christ Himself, not just everyday American Christianity.

Being Dead, Yet They Speak
(Below are excerpts from Jonathan‘s Edwards‘ “Resolutions”, a series of commitments he made throughout his life when reflecting on certain spiritual truths. He began this practice at age 19.)
4. Resolved, never to do any manner of thing, whether in soul or body, less or more, but what tends to the glory of God.
5. Resolved, never to lose one moment of time; but improve it the most profitable way I possibly can.
7. Resolved, never to do anything, which I should be afraid to do, if it were the last hour of my life.
8. Resolved, to act, in all respects, both speaking and doing, as if nobody had been so vile as I, and as if I had committed the same sins, or had the same infirmities or failings as others; and that I will let the knowledge of their failings promote nothing but shame in myself, and prove only an occasion of my confessing my own sins and misery to God.
9. Resolved, to think much on all occasions of my own dying, and of the common circumstances which attend death.
10. Resolved, when I feel pain, to think of the pains of martyrdom, and of hell.
11. Resolved, when I think of any theorem in divinity to be solved, immediately to do what I can towards solving it, if circumstances do not hinder.
70. Let there be something of benevolence, in all that I speak.

For History Buffs
- December 7, 374 -- The church father Ambrose was consecrated Bishop of Milan. Ambrose was a lawyer who won the position when crowds demanded it. Ambrose had used persuasive oratory to settle a riot between Arians and Orthodox Christians. One of Ambrose’s most important contributions to the church is his refutation of the Arian heresy, which denied that Christ was fully God.
- January 8, 1956 -- Missionaries Ed McCulley, Nate Saint, Jim Elliot, Pete Fleming, and Roger Youderian were killed by the Auca Indians in South America,
whom they were trying to win to Christ.
- January 17, 1604-- King James of England gets a motion passed to translate the Scriptures into English. The Geneva Bible which was in use at that time had too many footnotes which, her felt, were critical of the Church of England. Through its powerful rhythms and pleasing phrases, The King James Version (completed in 1611) shaped the language of the Bible-reading public.
- February 18, 1678--John Bunyan’s Pilgrims Progress, an allegory depicting the Christian life, was first published. It is the most popular Christian book, next to the Bible itself.

Farrar , H. Moule , and W. With nearly 15, pages, these books are easily searchable in digital format, and the commentaries will appear in Passage Guide results. Hebrew and Greek word studies can be performed with the click of a mouse, and Scripture references can be accessed instantaneously with a mouse-over. Calvin preached and wrote prolifically on the Bible. His commentaries display a rare combination of exegetical insight, pastoral concern, and theological depth which have inspired generations of Christians. Calvin wrote commentaries on most books of the Bible, and is best known for his commentaries on the Pauline epistles, his harmony of the Gospels, and his 5-volume work on the Psalms—all included in this massive collection.
For every chapter of the Bible, the commentary contains a section on preaching themes, which are organized topically, conceptually, and chronologically. Significant theological themes are also outlined for each section of the Bible, and homiletic notes are provided. The authors have also solicited and summarized commentary from a wide range of contributors to Biblical, historical, and theological scholarship, drawing from the collective wisdom of those who understand that good preaching has its origin in Biblical study.
This work ranks among the few Bible commentaries that remain practical and accessible without compromising scholarship, making it an integral part of sermon planning and preparation. From familiar authors such as A. Gaebelein , H. Swete , and A. This collection contains a wide array of studies on the parables of the Bible, including resources for teaching the parables to youth, sermon structures for teaching the parables, Greek and Hebrew exegesis of Old Testament parables, and personal devotional application from the lessons of the parables.
The Logos edition of this collection gets you access to much more. Each volume is completely searchable, allowing you to find every study on any specific parable, or find every parable on a specific topic. Published in the s, it is still well-loved and well-read by evangelicals who appreciate Barnes' pastoral insights into the Scripture. It is not a technical work, but provides informative observations on the text, intended to be helpful to those teaching Sunday School. Today, it is ideally suited to anyone teaching or preaching the Word of God, whether a professional minister or layperson.
Published originally in for the benefit of younger pastors seeking practical improvement at the task of sermon creation, Horae Homileticae reflects the rich source of Biblical understanding of its author, a towering figure in the history of evangelical theology. Rather, they are a chapter-by-chapter study with explanations of the most important and instructive verses in each chapter. His test for a sermon, as he teaches in Horae Homileticae , is threefold: does it humble the sinner, exalt the Savior and promote holiness?
I have a great jealousy on this head; never to speak more or less than I believe to be the mind of the Spirit in the passage I am expounding. Heinrich August Wilhelm Meyer, a German Protestant with a gift for languages, published the first commentary in this collection in at the age of thirty-two. It would be a lifelong project, one he worked on concurrently with a busy pastorate and raising a family. Known to have an encyclopedic memory and an appetite for buying books, it was not uncommon for Meyer to be reading his contemporaries in his native German, but also in English, Dutch, and French—languages that came as natural to him as Greek, Latin, and even Gothic.
For over forty years Meyer balanced working on new additions to the commentary collection while also updating those already published with multiple, serious revisions. Before passing the baton to a few of his trusted peers to finish the NT, Meyer had completed sixteen volumes. Each book of the Bible is amply introduced, including biographical information about the authors, authorship controversies, information about the times of its composition, its intended audience, and more.
Each volume focuses on the Greek text, and Meyer uses and discusses an abundance of sources and authors to illustrate meaning derived from the text. Meyer also likes to include important bibliographic material which was integral to his studies and research. Meyer's scholarship was lauded across denominational lines, and the English translations of his works were highly anticipated.
With the Logos Bible Software edition, you have instant access to all twenty-one volumes of this important commentary series along with a wealth of dictionaries, lexicons, and language reference tools. All Scripture passages are linked directly to the original language texts and English translations, and double-clicking any Greek word automatically opens a lexicon to help you decipher its meaning and understand its context.
Each volume contains a selected New Testament book in Greek, followed by a detailed and insightful commentary. These commentaries include outlines, verse-by-verse interpretation, historical facts, doctrinal discussions, word studies, and more. Written in an easy-to-understand style but still rich with biblical exegesis, this collection is perfect for anyone studying the New Testament in the Greek language.
A remarkable set of commentaries, this collection features well known scholars from the late 19th and early 20th centuries such as Alfred Plummer, Handley C. Moule, and Arthur Carr. Their recognized authority on biblical Greek leads readers to a fuller understanding of the Scriptures. Each volume also includes an in-depth introduction to the text, providing the reader with a complete overview and history of each Book of the New Testament—their authorship, their canonicity, where and why they were written, their literary history, and more. Some time ago a Logos employee discovered an old volume in a used bookshop, and, finding it useful, brought it to work to share with others.
Common to most of the volumes is a running set of notes, sometimes keyed to the verse but more often to a Greek word or phrase. This introductory material is quite voluminous. The page count in roman numerals is roughly equal to the page count of the actual commentary, rising over pages in some volumes Swete and Lightfoot, particularly. Valuable notes on the Greek text are provided, while introductory and background matter is omitted. His thoroughly Christ-centered view of Scripture comes through clearly in his extensive nine vol. According to Joel R.
Much more than a dictionary, this work provides encyclopedic and theological treatment on all the words in the Bible. The Church Pulpit Commentary includes work by various important members of the church such as Thomas Arnold who was a supporter of the Broad Anglican Church Movement, English theologian and socialist Rev. The 12 volumes included in The Church Pulpit Commentary include short essays which cover one verse, sometimes two, at a time that the authors view as important and relevant.
By utilizing the Logos edition of the 12 Volume set, you are able to access a complete commentary on the entire Bible in one location. At the beginning of each chapter is a reference guide so you can find the ideal sermon illustration for your next sermon. Additionally, with the Logos Bible Software Edition, you can search each volume of the text for that perfect illustration on the text or topic you are preaching on. Augustine , Tertullian , St. Jerome , Origen , and more. In addition to Alford's Greek text, this massive work includes detailed grammatical, literary, lexical, and textual analysis of nearly every Greek word in the New Testament, along with comprehensive linguistic and idiomatic notes.
The Greek Testament represents an epochal shift in New Testament exegesis. Alford's approach to the Greek text is primarily textual and philological, unlike the purely homiletical and theological approach which previously dominated English language commentaries. This shift in approach not only changed the method of New Testament exegesis, it also altered the role of commentaries. He introduced German biblical criticism to the English-speaking world, thereby making a lasting impression on the scholarly approach to biblical translation and interpretation.
The 8-volume Logos edition of The Greek Testament contains Henry Alford's original four volumes, which includes the prolegomena Alford wrote at the beginning of each volume. The prolegomena discuss the critical apparatuses and contain introductory notes on the historical, textual, and linguistic issues that pertain to the Greek text of each book. In these prolegomena, Alford also discusses his method of textual criticism, and he evaluates at length the textus receptus and Tischendorf edition of the New Testament and the historical approach to textual criticism.
Many prominent numbers from the Bible—such as , 7, 12, 40—have entered the broader cultural consciousness. But what do they mean? And what does the Bible really say about them? In the 7-volume Numerical Bible , Frederick W. Grant surveys the structure and symbolism of Scripture, showing that the Bible is not comprised of piecemeal literary fragments and forgeries, but that its structure and symbolism reflects the careful intentions of divine inspiration.
The precision of numbers and the laws of mathematics, which undergirds the order of the universe, also undergirds the order of Scripture. Like the rest of the nature, Scripture exhibits traits of order, structure, and symbol. In fact, the numbers and the very structure of the Bible contain elements of divine revelation.
How do we discern the voice of God in the patterns, structures, and numerical symbols found throughout Scripture? Grant also provides his own translation of the Bible—noteworthy in its own right—along with notes and critical commentary. In these volumes, Olshausen discusses the leading critical points and unfolds the rich doctrinal and practical teachings of the New Testament.
He also carefully traces the history of canonization and the entire history of interpretation. In his Biblical Commentary on the New Testament , Olshausen writes at length on historical and authorship issues, linguistic and textual issues, and the New Testament use of the Old Testament. His commentary recognizes the organic unity of the entire Scriptures and the role of the Holy Spirit in its writing and interpretation, yet he encourages the use of historical and critical investigation of Scripture. In this way, Olshausen anticipates the debate over infallibility, inspiration, and inerrancy later taken up by B.

These 11 volumes have had an enduring impact on Old Testament exegesis, and this exceptional collection provides easy access to this wealth of significant scholarship. This book, authored by Samuel Driver of Brown-Driver-Briggs fame, tackles what is one of the thorniest books of the Old Testament from a text-critical point of view.
It is considered by many to be one of the best commentaries on Samuel ever written.
Initially published in , it is still regarded as a model of text-critical method—which is noteworthy in light of the rugged condition of the text of 1 Samuel. Driver wrote using the text of the Septuagint, without the benefit of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Yet his conclusions about the validity of LXX readings of Samuel as opposed to the MT text, which suffers from some lengthy gaps were well argued and demonstrated to be accurate when the Qumran discovery came along.
In particular many letters and words have been accidentally omitted, often because of the phenomenon of homoioteleuton. For more than a century commentators have attempted to emend the text on the basis of the LXX. Their insights were confirmed and refined with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Stanley, Arthur P.

A pleasant trip through the romantic landscapes of Umbria, a region famous for its picturesque medieval villages and the countless cultural, artistic, natural and culinary wonders. The tour will take you to the discovery of two charming cities: Assisi and Orvieto.
Basilica of St. Francis
Assisi, famous for its architectural treasures, among them being the famous Basilica of St.Francis, built in the XIII century, full of unique pieces such as the tomb of St. Francis and Giotto’s famous frescoes representing the three fundamental virtues of the Franciscan rule and narrating the life and deeds of St. Francis of Assisi.
Other must-see ancient art jewels of Assisi are the Temple of Minerva, which dates back to the first century BC, the Chiesa Nuova, built in ‘600 upon the birthplace of St. Francis, the Basilica of Santa Chiara and the sixteenth-century Cathedral of San Rufino, bishop, martyr and patron saint of Assisi.
Orvieto, with its impressive Gothic cathedral and spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and vineyards, is one of the oldest cities in Italy of Etruscan origins.
Located initially in the tufa caves in the bedrock upon which today rises the current city.
Impossible not to visit the Cathedral of Orvieto, a splendid Romanesque-Gothic example, rich in works of art such as the famous frescoes by Luca Signorelli and the Reliquary of the Corporal.
Orvieto symbol is certainly its Underground City, entirely excavated by the inhabitants over the centuries, full of pits and caves, including the famous Pozzo di San Patrizio (St. Patrick’s Well).
The Pozzo di San Patrizio, built in the sixteenth century, on the behest of Pope Clement VII, is one of the wells from the impressive size in the world, is in fact 62 meters deep and has a diameter of 13.5 meters.


Roughly 2-years ago, around the time I made this wooden love sign, I finally decided to become an independent artist.
I never had the faith to actually pursue my dream. Instead my fear of the future kept me striving for what was safe, realistic, and more socially acceptable.
Yes, faith. It takes so much faith to be an artist. It takes faith to keep painting when everyone around you has an 8-5, steady income, full benefits job. It takes faith to keep painting after months of hard work and no compensation nor acknowledgment. It takes faith to keep painting even when people call you foolish and naive; that hurts the most.
Foolish or not, I just have to keep painting. I was given this "relentless tug" for a reason, and not by choice. It's like "the force" from Star Wars. You cannot see it, you cannot touch it, but it's more real than anything you can see or touch. And only a select few were born with it. I have to trust "the force", expecting it to do great things OR just let it sit there within, serving no one, but myself.
My internal "tug" to paint grew as my love and compassion for people grew. I so badly wanted to encourage those with depression, those with addictions, and anxiety - all things I've experienced in different severaties throughout my life. I wanted to use my gift to bring hope to these people and to show them the immense beauty in this world.
So with a little encouragement and A LOT of support from my husband Adam and father-in-law, I stepped out in faith.
I wasn't expecting to become a Picasso, but I was EXPECTING great things to happen. I was expecting a miracle.
After the first year my husband started questioning my decision. We saw little to no money coming in from the late nights, early mornings, and endless commissions. It seemed pointless.
But I JUST KNEW, with total confidence, that God was working in me. I KNEW I was training "the force" and it was growing stronger. As I continued to expect the best, the best followed me.
More doors opened. More customers came. More opportunities fell into my lap. I was asked to do murals, something I certainly never planned on doing, but accepted the challenge thankfully. And the greatest miracles weren't monetary ones, but the people God put in my life to serve. I've met so many hurting people along the way that I've had the honor of painting for, praying for, encouraging, and supporting. People I met on Facebook, Instagram, at the gym, and at the Studio Art School.
Like my heart, my art has become brighter, simpler, and more open. I'm finally fine tuning my art style, which involves flowers, animals, and people. I can only imagine what God has in store for the next 2 years, 5 years, 10 years.
I'll just keep painting and expecting the best.


BIRMINGHAM, Ala (WIAT) - - Birmingham police are investigating after Jesus Real Ministry Church was burglarized Monday and Tuesday night this week. The church is off Snavely Ave in the Powderly neighborhood.
Apostle Wanda Stephen is the pastor of the church. Wanda Stephens is the founder of the Mothers Who Want The Violence to Stop Organization. The organization stands against violence in the community. Stephen founded the group after her son George Powell, Jr. was shot and killed twelve years ago.
Stephen says music equipment like a guitar, microphones, and speakers were stolen. She says a window air conditioning unit, and the bathroom fan was also stolen.
"This a small church. Small congregation. And God knows I don't have the money to buy none of the air conditioning. I don't have the money to buy no more equipment for my church. No mice no sound system. I don't have the money." said Wanda Stephen
The thieve or thieves busted in a window to get into the church. Jesus Real Ministry is a small congregation and Stephen says she doesn't know how she can afford to replace everything that was stolen if it is not recovered. She is asking the community for help. Stephen has a message for whoever's responsible for the crime.
"God bless his soul. Save his soul because he's going in God's house. And he's taking stuff from God's house. Not only coming in but tearing the house up. That's not right. It's nothing but the devil. I know that God is in control. And I pray that they get him. And lock him up for a very long time." said Stephen
If you know anything about this case you're asked to call Birmingham Police at (205) 328-9311.
