We have some older men and women in our fellowship that so clearly exhibit this. Though I love our people and try to be a godly leader, I must admit there are times I do my job because it is my job. At times like that I look around and I see some of these "fathers" serving at my side. I am humbled

Often we think, or at least live like, if no one on earth knows then God won’t... but can we sin in obscurity? Mitch is married to Barbara and Ed, one of his best friends, is questioning Mitch on this very concept by asking if Mitch would stay faithful if he knew Barbara would never find

Mary and I love animals. We have a little Chihuahua named Duke. When he’s hungry, we feed him; when he’s cold, we warm him; and when he’s scared, we comfort him.
He knows it, and constantly searches for us. If we leave him for any period of time, he cries for us, and when we return he stops

The Lord Jesus Christ whom we exalt at Christmas is not just a baby in a manger. He is not a character in a children’s story. He is far more. The first time he came, he came veiled in the form of a child. The next time He comes, and we believe it will be soon, He will come unveiled, and it will be

I can remember when we first arrived as the pastor’s family at Ravenna, there was only a handful of people. In fact, within the first couple weeks it became evident that the Ravenna congregation couldn’t even pay the pastor’s salary.
But instead of crying to the conference for help or making the

Now we know there are more than 9 planets. To date, there are over 200 hundred planets- and astronomers continue to identify more and more. All but nine of them orbit stars other than our sun, but they’re out there. Our God is big. Bigger than earth, bigger, than our solar system, bigger than

Suffering can become so intense at times that we don’t know how we can take any more pain. It’s in these moments that Jesus reassures us of His presence and sustains us, even though for reasons we do not understand the hurt is not taken away.

B. We can be thankful even during the most difficult circumstances in life. We see an especially inspiring example of a brave and thankful heart in the story behind one of the church’s thanksgiving songs #788 in our hymnal, Now Thank WE All Our God. This hymn was written during the 30 years war

We never seem to quite fully understand that side of God in our times. We never seem to feel that when God is dishonoured, we must defend him. We must stand up to sin in all its forms. We are put to shame in some ways by those who follow Mohamed. When a few seemingly innocuous cartoons were

The problem is there are times when we don’t feel like we are a new creation. Like the group of women that met for an afternoon of lunch and shopping. At lunch they began to share some of the things in their lives. Superficially at first but then they moved into more intimate topics and details. It

Go into the ark, you and your whole family
Take in the ark animals (what were they?)
“Clean” animals

Today, we need our eyes opened to Jesus just as much as those early Christians. In one church, a sign that only the pastor could see was taped up in the pulpit. It quoted the words of John 12:21, (spoken by the Greeks who were in Jerusalem for the Passover to Philip) – “Sir, we would like to see

One day while working in the oilfield we were "breaking out" and removing old, abandoned pipelines. These were old "flow lines" and "gas lines". Natural gas has a tendency to dry out the threads of pipe and this, coupled with their age, make screwing the pipe apart very difficult. It was necessary
