Mohave County and the entire Colorado River community are currently fighting the latest such 4th priority Colorado River water transfer attempt by GSC Farm (a subsidiary of Mass Mutual out of Boston) which is pushing to transfer 2,033 acre-feet (662 million gallons) to the Town of…

Then the Creator came down to view the tower and confused their language so they could not communicate with each other and relocated them all over the Earth. There are other examples in the “Word of God” where God relocated even his favorite nation of Israel. They were punished far…

Lent has begun, and we’re going to talk about grace. Prevenient, justifying, and sanctifying grace. But first, let’s turn our attention to the reading and understanding of scripture: “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope – the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for…
