Drummond fighting federal overreach

February 23, 2023 Jonathan Small

With federal overreach a constant threat, it is important that states like Oklahoma stand up and fight to control their own destiny. That’s why Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond deserves praise for threatening to sue the Biden administration if it does not withdraw a rule by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFW) that designates…

February 23, 2023 Travis Jones

With the new movie “Jesus Movement” coming to theaters in late February, we may see a reawaking of revival that happened in the late 60’s and early 70’s. I was able to attend the premiere showing of this film and it brought back memories of this time in history. Would God use this film for…

Steak and Shake a great birthday from a loving father

February 16, 2023 Walker Moore

I can remember the day—August 4—but not the year. All I know is that my sons were in elementary school. Somehow, the older I get, the more those years get confused. I will say to Jeremiah or Caleb, “Do you remember when you hit a home run in the third grade?” and he will say,…

Sirianni Super Bowl

February 16, 2023 Jeff Brucculeri

This year, the Super Bowl had a lot more meaning for my family than any other Super Bowl in history. Not because one of our favorite teams was playing in the game, but because we had a family connection. The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, 38-35, in Super Bowl LVII.

How we use our time shows what we treasure in life

February 2, 2023 Walker Moore

Time is a beast that will either chase you toward or away from the better things. When I was young, television was just coming into its own. I spent the early part of my life listening to the radio. To this day, I would rather listen to the radio than watch television. With the radio…

A Historical story of Tulsa Bible Church

February 2, 2023 Travis Jones

My wife and I moved to Tulsa from Siloam Spring Arkansas after finishing at John Brown University in the Spring of 1974. For those that remember the Yellow Pages, we looked for a church to visit and found Tulsa Bible Church on 7th street. Our first Sunday was in April 1974 and we have been…
