A New Year: Time To Take Inventory
As we begin a new year, may we “take inventory” of our spiritual lives. Most businesses or organizations (the ones that are successful) will ask three questions in terms of their direction: “Where have we been? Where are we? Where are we going?” Our spiritual lives are of far greater importance than any business …
Dedicated
I have an affinity for big trucks of all kinds. My daddy was a truck driver most of his life picking up “canned milk” in the 1950s to delivering feed to farmers in the 1960s & 1970s then back to picking up milk in a tandem tank truck in the late 1970s. As a …
Picking Up The Pieces
When Asa was about five years old, we bought him a bicycle for his birthday. Given that his birthday is in December, the weather did not permit him to ride it outside for a while. One morning, he decided to ride down our hallway. He did not know how to use the breaks and …
You Are Not Alone!
In light of the recent damage and loss caused by tornadoes, I, like you, have watched the news coverage. I heard one elected official say, in an effort to reassure those impacted by the challenges that lay ahead, “You are not alone!” I found comfort and appreciation in this gentlemen’s sentiment.

What does the church have to offer me?

We invest hours upon hours to ensure we will secure “status” or significance in society. We prepare ourselves and our children for opportunities that will put us in a position to secure a …
May We Always Make Time for God
We are blessed to have 168 hours in a week. We know during that span of time many jobs, chores, and hurdles require our attention. We know that Matthew 6:33 tells us to “seek first the kingdom of God.” We know the benefit of studying God’s word and how we are strengthened spiritually & emotionally when we …
Keeping Up With The Joneses
We all have desired to have more in life at some point in our life. In a lighthearted way, we all have been labeled as someone who is trying to “keep up with the Joneses.” When I hear this phrase, I always sit silently and smile. Anyone who knows us, knows we have never owned …
Raging Storms & Water In Your Boat
Matthew 8:23-27 says Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him. And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!” But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O …
