Turning right at the yellow banner that read, “Gospel Sing Parking,” we found a place for our car and walked down the sidewalk to the Main Street Music Theater. It was Friday night, the Booth Brothers were scheduled to sing and from what I heard, the venue was sold out! (That proved to be true!)…
It isn’t every day you get to ride atop a bluff and look off into a calm lake dotted with docks, boats and condos as you drive to a Gospel Sing. April 4th was one of those days. The sun wasn’t yet set, though the light of day was beginning to fade as we made…
The second weekend in March has become home to Praisefest Branson – a three day event hosted by Legacy Five and Greater Vision in Branson, Missouri.

Welcome to week one of Battle Songs! This is the new video series for the month of April and during these next few weeks, we’ll be doing something a little different – we’ll be taking a poll!

It couldn’t be just anybody…but, what do you think,… maybe the Collingsworth Family would do? Well, that’s exactly who we had for the third session and second night of Praisefest…
In our last devotional, The Upper Room, I wanted to introduce the thought of how our Lord has a perfect understanding of life – not just because He’s omniscient and knows everything about our life from beginning to end, but because His earthly ministry was literally a perfect life, yet, others didn’t appreciate Him for…
I’ve often teased that “mornings” and “Gospel Sings” don’t belong in the same sentence, yet alone, in the same day; however, the Praisefest Branson crowd soaked it up!
