Heartbreak for many. We are praying for Pastor Josiah Anthony and his family and the congregation at this time. We weep for all. We weep for God’s Church. We pray for restoration. Such pain for all. Do you feel it? I do………

Cross Timbers Church is located in Argyle, Texas, roughly 30 miles north of Fort Worth. The church’s executive pastor, Byron Copeland, will step in as the church’s interim lead pastor. More Here
WARNING: Many are falling, it is a very, very dangerous time in America. The stress on Pastors is at an all-time high. The stress on the American people is horrible. The country is at civil war and it is going to get worse! This will not be solved by any politician or any political party! JESUS is always the answer, but so many Christians are all tied up in nasty, dirty politics! Politics is the playground of Satan! Some Churches are now identified by their political beleifs rather then there Biblical beleifs. Is it a GOP Church or a DEM Church, horrible stuff! It means disaster. Get out on the street and talk to people! Do not let the media tell you what Americans think! Do not be fooled!
LOVE THE WRITINGS OF PHIL COOKE! GLORY!
In all my years I have never seen so many Churches in a crisis!

Seeking God is critical, but along with that process, there are some immediate practical choices that have to be made. If you’re a church leader, elder, board member, or know someone who is, this is a critical list you should share and keep handy just in case a crisis happens in your church: More Here
