Fraternities and Sororities have been around for a long time. Phi Beta Kappa Society was founded on December 5, 1776, at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, and was the first fraternal organization in the United States of America. There were many more such societies to follow. On December 4, 1906, Alpha […]
I recently read that the success rate in marriage today is about 25%. That means that 75% of marriages either end in divorce or are less than what God wants them to be.

We were all called the same way, that is, by the gospel of Christ (2 Thessalonians 2:13-14). Having been called by the gospel, we must now walk worthy of it. Ephesians […]
