If I asked you here to list all the blessings in your life, you could probably fill up the rest of this page. If I asked you to list all the people in… Continue reading Be the Reason For Thanksgiving

God is in Control
There’s an interesting narrative about Jehoshaphat in Second Chronicles chapter twenty. As King over Judah, he is faced with three nations allying themselves against God’s people. He was told that a vast army of Moabites, Ammonites, and the Meunites from Mt. Seir were marching toward Jerusalem where he publicly goes to God requesting His intervention… Continue reading God is in Control
The Scariest Thought of All!
So what is the scariest thing to you? What kind of movies or scenarios frighten you the most? Is it spiders? Clowns? Werewolves? Monsters? The list could go on I’m sure. Many people have their own phobias that are as varied from person to person as the costumes that were worn by our kiddos at… Continue reading The Scariest Thought of All!
Connecting God and People Together
The Church is not made of people who believe they are better than others, but rather it is made of those who realize they should be better than they are and must continually strive to do better always. The church is not made up of perfect people, but people who realize they are following a… Continue reading Connecting God and People Together
Christians Preparing to Vote
Election Day is upon us. How will we vote? Will we vote a straight ticket regardless of the convictions of the individual? Let me suggest that we be compelled by our conscience to say like the Apostle Peter: “We must obey God rather than men.” This includes voting with integrity and a good conscience. This principle must… Continue reading Christians Preparing to Vote

In today’s vernacular we would say, I was glad when they said to me let’s go… Continue reading Assembling to Worship God
Life Is Short

Job continues to say, “Man who is born of woman is of a few days and full of trouble. He comes forth like a flower and fades away; he flees like… Continue reading Life Is Short
The Great Separation
One of the most recognizable phrases in the Bible is found in the first paragraph of God’s Word: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of… Continue reading The Great Separation
Mayonnaise Jar and Coffee
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee. A professor stood before his philosophy class, and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very… Continue reading Mayonnaise Jar and Coffee
God Honors Work (Labor Day)
Since tomorrow is Labor Day, let’s consider a Biblical perspective on work. Was work a punishment from God upon mankind due to sin? No. Before there was sin in the Garden of Eden there was work. The Bible says, “And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to… Continue reading God Honors Work (Labor Day)
