    The question asked of God by Cain in Genesis was, "Am I my brother's keeper?" The unstated answer was yes. Apostasy is not just a theological departure, but a state of being promoted by our thinking and actions. Our responsibility is to identify it and re

    The people of Bible times drank wine and Jesus’ 1st miracle was turning water into wine... so why does the church have such a problem with alcohol?

    A discussion on Hebrew chapter one describing why Jesus is the greater way to go and how we do not have to settle on the Old ways of doing things.

    This time of year, we say out with the old and in with the new. We have said out with 2006 and in with 2007. We are hopeful that the old days were good, but the new days and year will be even better. When I was growing up in the 70’s and 80’s, music was outstanding, or so we thought.

    Cain murdered Abel. Why? How does God respond? How do we respond differently in a hate and anger filled world? We love.

    Father's Day: As David cried out for Absalom, God is crying out for us. David wanted to lay down his life so that his son could live, and the heavenly Father has the same feelings of compassion toward us. That's why He sent Jesus.

    As you know very well, today is Father’s Day, and what I wish to talk about is the great love to which we have access in our heavenly Father – a love so great that it would be willing sacrifice itself for our spiritual well-being and life. Jesus declared in John 15:13, “Greater love has no one ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,673 views

    The Ten Bridesmaids story is an answer to the question of the disciples in Matthew 24:3. With the current wars, and protests, warnings about WWIII, people are again asking: When will the end come? Jesus simply says: "Watch and be prepared."

    In Jesus Holy Name November 12, 2023 Text: Matthew 25:10b,13 “The Missing Bride at the Wedding” This is a great parable about the danger of being unprepared. I know there have been weddings that I officiated, but the “bride” was 30 or 45 minutes late, so everyone just waited. ...read more

    Anticipating Grief

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 18, 2010
     | 6,305 views

    A grief anticipating what will happen is difficult, but can be handled if we ask and accept forgiveness. When the grief is fulfilled, then we are ready to do what our hearts tell us. God suffered anticipating grief and so understands.

    Only someone who has done some grieving can help those who now grieve. A hundred "I’m sorries" and a thousand "I know how you feels" are worthless when you feel profound grief. You need at your side someone who has been through loss. And if yours is anticipating grief; that is, if yours is the ...read more

    If you want to be certain that you have nothing to fear from death, then put your confidence in Jesus Christ. Accept his claim to be the only begotten Son of God. Admit your disobedience to God and ask him for forgiveness.

    Believing with Assurance Benjamin Franklin is credited with saying: “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Mind you, he probably hadn’t imagined the industry that’s sprung up around tax avoidance these days. But he was certainly correct ...read more
