We then that are strong out to
bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Romans 15:1 I thank the Lord for the church He has planted behind the walls of the maximum security prison I live in... The goodness of God
endureth continually. Psalm 52:1 God has been good to me. He has been faithful to answer my prayers, but of course only in His timing... Few prisoners were fortunate to have had good, loving and caring fathers while they were growing up...

Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile. Romans 1:16 Both Jew and Gentile need to have the gospel explained to them clearly, simply, and through the unseen guidance of the Holy Spirit... Out of Zion, the perfection
of beauty, God hath shined. Psalm 50:2 God's radiance forever shines, and it is a million times brighter than the sun... I was asked by a friend, Reverend Don DeYoung, who is a pastor of a church and is also active in prison ministry, to write a message of encouragement to inmates in the state of Michigan...
