Wear the Cross for the 21 Martyrs
It’s nearly unbelievable to think what is happening to our brothers and sisters in Christ is the Middle East. I am calling all brothers and sisters to stand in solidarity with our martyred brothers and sisters in Egypt. We are the nation of the cross. Wear your cross as a sign of unity of faith.…

Humility in Prayer
We often think of humility being a trait of a Christian, but we don’t always think of it as it relates to prayer. How do we come to prayer with humility, but yet boldly.
