Christian 12 Step’s annual celebration banquet was a night of worship and praise. God is so good to us. We burned the note on the building. We are debt free. However , that was not the highlight of the evening. With more than 150 in attendance we were witnesses to numerous miracles of lives being…
“The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” (1 John 4:8) That is some strong words. Let me try to put that in my vernacular. “If you don’t know God you don’t know how to love and if you know God you are going to show genuine love because…
Happy New Year. 2015 is here. As I review events of the past 12 months I am challenged to make 2015 twelve months of serving the Bethlehem Baby who went to the Cross, came out of the tomb and became my living Redeemer. Jesus makes all the difference in the world. Jesus turns sadness into…

Last Friday I was able to witness a miracle. A very supportive volunteer of the Christian 12 Step Ministry stopped by the office for a visit. She asked the question, “What is the balance on the mortgage on the Christian 12 Step office building?”. I gave her the figure and she presented me with a…
I just returned from an all day prayer meeting at Dunklin Regeneration Camp in Okeechobee, a place for addicts to find genuine recovery through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
