    Arming Our Children Properly For Life

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 30, 2016
     | 3,209 views

    Even the best state schools are hobbled in their abilities to prepare children for life in a world that despises the Gospel of Christ, so we must arm them with Christian values in Christian environments.

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 13, 2009
     | 6,211 views

    The necessity of prayer is examined in the light of two decisions God made about man at creation. (1) He made man in His own image with freewill capacity for moral choice (2) He gave man dominion over the earth.

    First Sunday In Advent: Preparation for Jesus’ return is not ’rocket science.’ Readiness is simply living in the faith that God has called us to by grace.

    Today is the first Sunday of Advent - the beginning of a new Church Year. The Altar is draped in blue - expressive of hope, expectation and anticipation, which is the dominant mood of Advent. The Advent season is four Sundays long. That is why we have the four Advent candles in the Advent wreath. ...read more

    Advent is a time of preparation and repentance, and it turns out that Joseph’s story has a few things to teach about those very things.

    Joseph…the husband of Mary. The Bible doesn’t really tell us that much about Joseph. Legend has it that he was an elderly widow. Supposedly that explains why he was able to honor Mary’s virginity during the first months of their marriage and why he quietly disappears from the narrative sometime ...read more
