Forgiveness
Forgiveness is a wonderful thing! We all have sinned, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Knowing this reminds us we ALL need a Savior, “And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins” …
Bible Class
Both our youth and adults have started new Bible classes this month. While attending Bible class on Sunday morning and Wednesday night requires an investment on our part, we must understand Bible class is an opportunity to be obedient and gain knowledge! Is growing a command? II Timothy 2:15-16 plainly says, “ Be diligent to …
What Will They Say About Me?
Just as you, I have attended several funerals recently of friends & family, as well as, brothers & sisters in Christ. Leading up to the memorial, we often read a snippet of our loved one’s life in the local newspaper. The last several weeks has lead me to this question, “What will they say about …
Are You Happy?
When a conversation is taking place regarding marriage the question usually pops up, “are you happy?”How we answer the question will determine the direction the conversation flows. Being happy with our mate is important! I will readily admit I have only been married for 15 1/2 years. I even refer to myself as a novice …
Marriage
Marriage is for those who love God and each other . We are all familiar with varying “statistics” regarding marriage & divorce rates. However, I love to talk with couples who have been married for 40, 50, and 60 plus years. I marvel at the longevity of their relationships. I have learned from listening to …

Suffering, challenges, and despair seem to always be close by. Given all of these challenges, how can we face today? We can face today because of what the Psalmist tells us in Psalm 9:9-10, “The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in …
Do You Know The Shepherd?
The story is told of a Shakespearean actor who was known everywhere for his one-man shows of readings and recitations from the classics. He would always end his performance with a reading of Psalm 23. Each night, without exception, as the actor began his recitation …. “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want“…. …
Saying Goodbye
Last Saturday we said, “goodbye” to my Uncle’s wife. She was 93 years old. She was part of the “Greatest Generation.” This generation knew hard work and they were guided by a moral compass directed by God. I watched friends & family file in the funeral home to offer my aunt’s children, grand- children, and …
Will you be back?
“Will you be back?” was the question I was asked at least once a week on Saturday mornings in 2012. That year I was given the opportunity to volunteer at the Barren County Detention Center and teach classes to individuals who were incarcerated. Originally, I set up a pro- gram to test a social/emotional intervention …
