    Forget Me Not

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Feb 7, 2025
     | 80 views

    To keep faithful to our faithful God we set aside time to remember. We must regularly turn our attention back to God, up to God, forward to God to keep our side of the covenant agreement.

    DO NOT FORGET God of our fathers, known of old – Lord of our far flung battle line Beneath whose awful hand we hold dominion over palm and pine Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, lest we forget - lest we forget! About 100 years ago, the British poet Rudyard ...read more

    Author Of Liberty

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Feb 7, 2025
     | 48 views

    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

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Feb 1, 2025
     | 100 views

    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.

    Should respect and courtesy be taught in elementary, middle, and high school classes along with writing and arithmetic? At the end of the last century ten states mandated that character education be included in the school curriculum and legislation; the issue was pending in many more states. A ...read more

     | 72 views

    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. The material in it ranges from unpleasant to incomprehensible and back again, with one or two flashes of clarity and simplicity almost as if to catch us off our guard. If it hadn’t been for the fact that I promised to preach on one ...read more

    From Why To What

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Feb 21, 2024
     | 876 views

    The normal human response, “Why did this happen?” calls God to account. On the other hand, “What do you want me to do?” is an invitation for God to call us to account.

    Sixty years ago President John Fitzgerald Kennedy sent a group of military advisors to a little country in the Far East that most Americans had never heard of. Their government was having some trouble with rebels and turned to the U.S. for help. Who else should they turn to? The United States was ...read more

     | 1,103 views

    We all make mistakes, some bigger than others. But God has shown us what to do with them:

    I don’t know anyone anywhere who hasn’t done something they were sorry for afterwards. What’s the most recent one for you? Maybe it’s something you said - thoughtless or angry words. Maybe it’s something you did - or something you didn’t do. Perhaps it was something that you fight against and keep ...read more

    The Means Of Grace

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Dec 23, 2023
     | 1,068 views

    God’s power does not depend on tangible things or reside in visible things. It is God in Christ who calls, and when we come to him, it is God in Christ who heals.

    Can you imagine how desperate General Naaman must have been? Aram and Israel were enemies, for goodness’ sake. They were raiding across each other's borders, looting and taking slaves and generally making nuisances of themselves, keeping in practice for the next full-scale hostilities to break ...read more

    Margin Of Grace

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Dec 23, 2023
     | 1,133 views

    The reason God has given us a margin of grace is so that we might reconsider and draw near to him, not to remove the consequences of staying at arms length.

    Nearly a quarter-century after most of the world signed a convention outlawing the use of antipersonnel landmines, the number of people being killed or maimed by these insidious and lethal weapons remains high—and rising.

     | 800 views

    No matter who or what you are committed to, if Christ is not put first, all the other allegiances suffer as well.

    A few years ago, my sister played the female lead in a community theater production of a play called “Pack of Lies.” It was about a couple whose neighbors across the street were suspected of espionage; the British Secret Service asked their permission to establish a surveillance on them from the ...read more

    False Security

     | 1,035 views

    No form of government can make up for the peoples’ failure to obey and honor God.

    It’s amazing which lessons we learn from our parents and which ones we don’t, isn’t it? Considering that I quit making my bed every day the minute I moved out, my mother would be amazed to realize how many lessons I do remember. One of my favorites is from a time when I think I was about 7 years ...read more

    Jezebel took shortcuts to gain power and wealth and wound up being famous, but not in the way she wanted.

    How many women in this congregation are wearing makeup? How many of you actually feel rather undressed if you go out without your lipstick? My mother, who turned 104 in September, used to be so dependent on makeup she even wore lipstick and eye liner on hiking trips. I don’t often wear makeup ...read more

    Why should we adorn the house of God? How should we? Should we?

    We’ve come a long way, haven’t we, since the Puritans trashed the glorious medieval churches of England and Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Henry VIII ordered the dissolution of the monasteries, melting down altarware and images, largely to enrich the civil treasury. Under Oliver Cromwell, though, ...read more

The people of Jerusalem had just achieved a major victory: rebuilding the wall around the city which had been destroyed during their seventy years of captivity in Babylon.
