Annie and I had the pleasure of visiting C3 Long Island this past Sunday. Our friends Phil and Denise Buechler are the Senior Ministers and this is the church that our daughter, Rachel, and her husband, Steve, are a part of. Pastor Phil graciously gave us a few minutes in both Sunday morning services to […]

In Part One, we discussed the importance of not drifting away from God and keeping our faith in Him strong. The first way that we mentioned was the importance of staying in church.

“The Lord kept his word and did for Sarah exactly what he had promised. She became pregnant, and she gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age. This happened at just the time God had said it would.” The laughter and joyful chatter surrounded Abraham and Sarah as their friends and family

“So Sarah said to Abraham, “The Lord has prevented me from having children. Go and sleep with my servant girl. Perhaps I can have children through her.” And Abraham agreed with Sarah’s proposal.” Talk about a Jerry Springer episode!
