The Classroom’s Pulpit – How Can We Assist Our Children?
It is not news to you, the “start of school” as we know it, is about to commence! While many plans are being made for “school shopping” for new clothes and school supplies, are we making plans to support, encourage, and shield our children from all the many spiritual and theological challenges they will …
They Just Don’t Come Anymore!
I recently was in conversation with a gentleman who has been a Christian for approximately sixty or more years, he remarked to me that back in “his day,” he would have twelve to fifteen teens in his class. He followed that comment with, “They Just Don’t Come Anymore!” Not be an alarmist, but friends the …
Using Our Freedom
This time of year is one of my favorites because of the focus we get to place on our freedom by being citizens of The United States of America! During the month of June, we stop and recognize “June 6th.” The President Dwight D. Eisenhower library documents this day by saying, “The D-Day operation …
Church Camp, “Mission Possible”

But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full …
Why Do We Blush?
Are you a “blusher?” For most of my life, I have been considered a blusher. Simply put, anytime I have felt embarrassed, inadequate, or received unexpected attention, or done something wrong, my face would quickly turn red. To make matters worse, invariably, someone would always come up to me and say, “Are you okay?’ Even …
Faith: Hold On and Never Let Go!
“When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when faith is lost, all is lost.” ~Alex Misiats (Sasha) Our congregation has benefited from hearing Sasha speak to us recently regarding the war, challenges, death, and loss in Ukraine. The travesties, gruesomeness, and inhumane treatment brought on by Russia is …
