    How often are you tempted to think you’re more important than you really are? We like to be the center of attention. We like to promote ourselves. We like to receive praise from other people. We like the applause of others. It causes us to be more concerned about self than God and others.

Because of that, whenever the kingdom of God is inserted into this world in any way, conflict and tension inevitably result. We certainly see ...read more

    Even the emotion of sadness is given to us by God for our good. But what should we do when sadness turns into despondency and depression? These three biblical examples show us what to do.

    A. I came across this humorous list of truths children learn – let me share a few with you. 1. Truth #1: No matter how hard you try, you can’t baptize cats. 2.

    Should We Shun

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Oct 17, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,774 views

    There is a need to return to the concept of shunning. Indeed, we should shun those whose politics are against Scripture even if they are called Brethren,

    Having spent some time around Amish and Mennonites, I know they are pretty much the only groups that still practice shunning. Most are probably afraid of lawsuits, spitting the church or have a slightly off view of grace/love. We speak truth in love and some times we need to practice tough love ...read more

    The honor of being admitted into communion with God and being employed by/for him does not exempt us from the duties due to our families and callings in this world.
