DOTS are a favorite candy for many children and adults alike. They are a fruity, gummy type of candy that are enjoyed throughout the year. Two weeks ago a counselor at Horizons was preparing to share DOTS with her campers throughout the week. She had taken the candy DOTS and made a spiritual application that …
Category: Weekly Encouragement
Every week, the ministers here at the South Green church of Christ write brief articles for the congregation's weekly bulletin. The following is a copy of those articles, which have been adapted to this digital environment. Brief and to the point, these articles are designed to inspire, encourage, and challenge all. We hope and trust you will find them useful.
Inside – Out Righteousness
Horizons 2015 was the week of July 5-10 on the campus of Freed-Hardeman University in Henderson, TN. We were a part of a record breaking Christian leadership camp. Over 950 plus campers (6th-12th grade teens) and 250 plus staff spent the week studying, worshiping, praying, serving, fellowshipping, and loving God. We had 21 campers, Allen …
Be An Example
Example – a pattern or model, as of something to be imitated or avoided. We see good and bad examples of how we should present ourselves everyday. From Hollywood we are shown examples of how the world wants us to present ourselves. Our young people are being shown examples of how the world wants them …
Times Change
Most of the time, change is good. We all want to grow, get stronger, learn more, see more places, etc. Certainly we are aware of the fact that our methods and tactics must change and adapt when we become ineffective. We must take advantage of opportunities as they are presented. On and on we could …
Legal?
In recent days, much has been made about the legality or illegality of same-sex marriage. Thus it seems prudent to compare the Law of God with the law of man. Have we entered into uncharted waters? Certainly not. According to the law of man, I am authorized and within my rights to divorce my spouse …
Freedom
Grilling out, spending time with friends & family, and watching fireworks is how most of us will spend this weekend as we celebrate Independence Day as a nation. We know with independence comes freedom. Christians understand with freedom comes responsibilities. Like you, I have always counted myself as a proud American. I am appreciative of …
Too Many Sins?
Look . . . ! I understand, OK? I know what it’s like to feel regret and remorse, and to ask questions like, “Have I done enough?” and “How am I ever going to be forgiven?” True, some, yea . . . many, after embraceing and putting Jesus on through immersion, wander astray, do things …
Who Will Perish?
“Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will punish all those who are circumcised merely in the flesh– Egypt, Judah, Edom, the sons of Ammon, Moab, and all who dwell in the desert who cut the corners of their hair, for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel …
Patriots
Veterans Day is this week. Thus, I believe it is appropriate to revisit the concept of patriotism. Many men and women have gone to great lengths to secure certain liberties for the rest of us—for that we should be thankful. A patriot is a person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend …
Truth and Religion
The existence of God means the existence of objective truth. There is a Moral Lawgiver and He has established standards. There is such a thing as “right” and there is such a thing as “wrong.” This does not change based upon feelings or preferences. A number of years ago, my grandfather, the late Thomas B. …
