The Theology Of Praise
Contributed on Jun 20, 2020
How saturated is your life with praise?
Praise is the atmosphere of heaven, and we can enjoy that here on earth, as a Christian. The authentic and radical Christian has the advantage in this. The world and its events do not control our praise. Our praise flows from within and is a reflection of God within us. Our praise here is a ...read more

The Comfort God Gives To His People
Contributed on Jan 15, 2018
Nothing we experience can ever compromise the comfort God has for us.
Looking back over the past year there are many things we can be thankful. Often times we only remember the bad things and forget that God got us through those times by his grace. We can’t change the past, but we can be thankful for how God brought us through on the victorious way. As we ...read more

The Power Of Faith
Contributed on Jan 15, 2018
When I begin to understand the power of faith, I begin to appreciate what the Christian life is really all about.
Some people like to refer to themselves as a man or woman of faith. Yet, if you query them along that subject you discover they have no idea what a man or woman of faith is. Faith has become just a word we use when thinking of somebody who is religious. Their faith is rooted in their ...read more

The Dimensions Of The Lord’s Table
Contributed on Jun 24, 2017
To understand the dimensions of the Lord’s Table is to fully grasp the character and nature of our Christian experience.
1 Corinthians 10:14-33, 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 The Lord’s Table is a continuing memorial of the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the one thing Christians have celebrated from the very beginning. Jesus said to the early Christians concerning this, “This do ...read more

The Connection Between The Lord’s Supper And The Upper Room
Contributed on Jun 17, 2017
No matter how long you have been a Christian there are still more wondrous things to be discovered about the Christian life. And it is the challenge of my life each day to seek more and more of what it means to be a Christian.
Matthew 26:17-35; John 20:19-31 F. W. Boreham has a very interesting essay on the subject, “Seek and ye shall Find.” He takes a different twist on the Scripture and I was fascinated by it. He tells the story of when he was young and lost a little toy. He acquired this toy by exchanging ...read more

Swimming In An Ocean Of Pills
Contributed on Sep 6, 2025
Dr. James L. Snyder I have a confession to make. I never realized that the older I get, the more difficult life seems to be. Oh, for those good ole days. As a young person, I thought that when I got older, all of my problems would be solved. At the time, I did not know all the problems I was ...read more

Is That My Grandfather’s Hand?
Contributed on Aug 26, 2025
This past week, I thought of my maternal grandfather. I haven't thought of him for a long time because he died over 50 years ago. I'm not sure what inspired me to think about my old grandpa. As a youngster, I used to spend summers with him on his farm. He owned a farm up in the mountains ...read more

What It Was, Was A Cookie
Contributed on Aug 11, 2025
At least once a month The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and her daughter will spend a day visiting thrift stores in our community. I’m not sure, so don’t quote me, but I think there’s a 100-mile radius where they do their shopping. This past week was one of those days. As she was backing out ...read more

And Then It’s Monday… Again
Contributed on Jul 26, 2025
I'm not sure if it's just me getting old or something altogether different. Time seems to go by fast. My father used to say, "The older you get the faster time goes." I'm finally beginning to understand what he meant by that. At the time, I laughed at him and didn't ...read more

One More Candle On Another Cake
Contributed on Jul 19, 2025
The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I were finishing our supper. If anyone can put together a marvelous supper, it is she. If anybody can eat a marvelous supper, it is me. As we were finishing, she looked over at me and said, "My dear, do you know what we will be celebrating next ...read more
