Music In Worship

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Feb 24, 2004

This is an examination of the kind of music that God deems acceptable in the worship of the Lord’s Church.

From the earliest days, music has played an important element in the worship of God. In both the Old and New Testaments, one can read of the use of music in worship. During the last 1600-1700 years, there has been much controversy as to the nature of acceptable music in Christian worship. The ...read more

Opposing The Opposition

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Sep 21, 2015

These are hard times for the churches across North America. We have the greatest message the world could ever hope to hear but people shut their ears and hearts to it. So what are we to do?

Opposing the opposition - Jeremiah 11:18-20 This week I was drawn to the book of Jeremiah. God called him to a difficult task at a difficult time. Jeremiah was calling out to the people of God but they wanted none of it. In fact they had enough of Jeremiah and planned to kill him because he ...read more

A Call To Reclaim Education

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Aug 10, 2024

Christians must step up and reclaim the education of our children. The world has indoctrinated them for far too long, and if there is to be a hope to reverse our nations course, it will take a generation of work. A large part of that work must be in the realm of education.

Short Sermon on Education IF you read our church newsletter, then you know I do a lot of thinking about education. And the reason for that is because God’s Word says a lot about education. The education of children, and the education of His people – the Church. And historically speaking - - - ...read more

Christmas Trivia Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 8, 2021

We are to live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, but sometimes they seem so trivial we tend to ignore them. Christmas trivia is a good example. Dr. Luke was a man of detail, and he records for us a number of things that can be called Christmas trivia.

One of the great paradoxes of Christmas is that almost everything the Bible tells us about this most sacred event, is secular in nature. It is filled with what is temporal rather than eternal; physical rather than spiritual; and world oriented rather than heaven oriented. Christmas is really a ...read more
