The World Needs Jesus
This week, our congregation was blessed to have heard great lessons from Scripture from Bro. Dan Owen from Paducah, Kentucky! I took many, many things from Bro. Dan’s lessons this week. One that sticks out to me is the need to “choose Jesus!” Of course, we choose Jesus when we see how much God loves …
What’s Our Motive (Dealing with Conflict)
Several years ago, my family and I attended a small, rural congregation that was extremely vibrant and faithful. At one point in time, a “contentious meeting” was scheduled with the two congregation’s Elders and the men of the congregation. Upon hearing of the meeting, I had no interest in attending because even as young and …
Staying Safe
It is tragic. It is sickening. It is heartbreaking. Each time we hear about places of worship being terrorized—being invaded by someone with the intent to harm and cause mayhem, we are immediately prompted to petition God in prayer on behalf of those who have been hurt, and we are put on the alert—we are …
“He was a laborer”
Several times each day, I monitor news and the local obituaries in an effort to be aware of those who have lost loved ones. I was reading the obituary of a man who had passed away that I did not know recently. After the man’s family was listed and having a brief summary of where …

This included several movie titles and release dates, as well as some new live action shows that will air on the new Disney+ streaming service. If you’re anything like me, this …
Fireworks: Flashy but Fleeting
On July 4th, 1776, America would sign the Declaration of Independence, marking the end of the Revolutionary War and the start of the United States as we know it. Fast forward a couple of centuries and to this very day we still celebrate this accomplishment. This coming Thursday is Independence Day and countless groups of …
A Fool
Once again, it is April 1—April Fools’ Day. It is a day for pranks and such I guess…but I am interested in what Scripture says about being a fool. Particularly, in 2 Corinthians 10 – 12, Paul considers what it means to be a fool in the eyes of the world verses being a fool …
Lessons From The Lost Coin
Luke 15:1-2 sets up the three parables Jesus is using to teach His lessons. The “tax collectors and sinners” were drawn to the uplifting message of Jesus! These groups wanted an alternative to the ugliness found in their lives while having no sense of hope & direction. Luke 15:8-10 says Or what woman, having ten …
Souls Souls Souls
After we obey the Gospel, we strive to grow closer to Christ. We attend Bible class consistently, engage in worship services, and join in the fellowship activities of the church. While we are commanded to study (II Timothy 2:15), attend worship services (Hebrews 10:25-26), & interact with our brothers and sisters during the ups & …
Reflections From Walking In A Cemetery
I’m not sure how you feel about cemeteries, but I actually do my best thinking & reflecting anytime I find my- self in a cemetery. Why? My priorities are quickly put in order, I realize we all have a limited number of sunsets, and I see firsthand the hurt one feels when a loved one …
