Contributed on Feb 7, 2025
Why do you suppose it is that people find it so difficult to understand that real freedom only comes when we obey God?
It’s a risky thing to mix politics and religion. It’s too easy to confuse the two. And if I remember correctly, one of the major bones of contention during my predecessor’s tenure was over that very thing: whether or not it was proper to have the American flag in the sanctuary. Many people do ...read more

Israel: The Next Generation
Contributed on Feb 1, 2025
Every generation crosses a river into a new land, taking with them lessons from their ancestors. Your ancestors may not have given you what you needed to travel the desert in safety, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late.

Suiting Up
Contributed on Feb 1, 2025
How can a sinful people live in intimate daily communion with a Holy God?
Leviticus is probably one of the most difficult books in the Bible.

From Why To What
Contributed on Feb 21, 2024
