The Extra In The Ordinary Erica Boerman Here we celebrate the little "extras" in our ordinary lives. And really, nothing about living out our lives under the authority of the Word of God and in the power of the Spirit is ordinary. It is extraordinary.

John Ashton was an historian and a prolific writer, unjustly forgotten, of social mores, customs, and daily life of the English Regency as well as before and after.

The Bible says that the “preaching of the cross…unto us which are saved…is the power of God”. We desire to help strengthen Christians to raise their spiritual walk. Having this understanding that the total man has a relationship with God, with an understanding of the benefits, rights in his kingdom exercises the authority that God gave him, and ultimately birth God’s Perfect Plans.Our prayer is that we can impact the body of Christ, and unbelievers about Jesus Christ and his fullness.
