Be Careful What you LIKE
My social media usage would be considered moderate. I enjoy seeing the pictures of my friends & keeping in touch with others. I too, share information & pictures. Social media has created another realm for us to interact. We may forget our Christian influence is seen in the virtual world as well. I’m not the …
Seeking The Truth
Seeking the truth of Scripture is paramount with each step of our walk with Christ. Knowing more about Jesus strengthens our relationship, stomps out doubt, and motivates us to love Christ. What does it say about us when we seek the truth? Acts 17:11 says These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that …
“Well, That’s your opinion!”
Do you use the rule book when you play Monopoly? I have never read the rules for Monopoly. Why? Getting to do something while making up my rules just seems easier. Playing the game with a skeleton set of guidelines takes the pressure off of trying to examine, prepare, and do what I am supposed …
Following Jesus
Unfortunately, compromise has become commonplace & a willingness to go along just to get along has become the mindset of most religious bodies of our day. The Bible plainly teaches we are to live peaceable with all men (Romans 12:18). Christians are not to seek division, strife, & confrontation. Christians are to follow Christ & …
“Lest We Drift Away”
Man made religions grow due to entertainment worship & an acceptance of feel good philosophy. Once faithful Christians have exchanged truth for fiction.

What Name Should the Church Wear?
Names are important because they set us apart. The Greek word ekklesia, translated “church,” was understood in the first century Roman-ruled world simply to mean “assembly.” This assembly was a gathering of people, whether for a secular or religious purpose. Ekklesia was used before & after the time of Christ in relation to an assembly …
Effectiveness Vs Busyness
We all are given the same amount of time in a day. We strive to be busy when it comes to the work of the church. Being busy is good but being effective bears fruit for the Kingdom. The difference between effectiveness & busyness is the result! Effective Christians do what they say they will …
Government (Christian Involvement)
We ALL have been in tense discussions when it comes to religion & government. While imperfect, our system of government cannot be rivaled. We enjoy more freedom than other nations. However, constituents contribute to a political campaign, Christians in- vest in the Kingdom! Both are seeking something in return. Christian involvement in the political process …
Facing Death
We understand the brevity of life with the impending reality of dying. We understand the possibility of losing family, friends, and our peers to the appointment we all must keep. Being aware of the realization we will not last forever should motivate us to ask: “What does the Bible say about death?” Hebrews 9:27 says …
Your Next Home…
Financial experts tell us our homes are our largest asset. An average house in 1973 was 1,660 sq. ft. while in 2015 an average house was 2,687 sq. ft. Numerically, families continue to decrease in size com- pared to previous decades. Our homes are very important due to values, not needs. We are blessed to …
