viczarley — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:03:54 +0000

viczarley — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 12:52:27 +0000

Welcome to another podcast. Today Eva and I discuss the recent national tragedy in which 27 people (mostly children) were killed by a deranged individual. How do we cope with this. How do we maintain our faith? Afterword, we share a relatively new song entitled, “Savior, Master, Jesus.” We pray this candid and heartfelt podcast is a blessing to you.

National Repentance

viczarley — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 14:00:21 +0000

Today Eva and I discuss National Repentance. Pride must be dropped and a humbleness of spirit must be adapted. And there really is no compromise possible with the sins we, as a nation, commit. Repentance starts with the individual, then should be shouldered by the Church and finally the nation. We NEED to wake up to the truth. Remember Ninevah! We conclude with a song of Eva’s “Lord I Repent.” God bless you all.

Outreach

We include a song of mine, “Jesus, Please Take Me from the Grandstand World.”
