    What is the most important nourishment for the family?

    When Olin and Claryce Merrett came in for the service Wednesday night, I gave my usual, “Hello,” and asked, “How are you doing, Olin?” Olin replied, “Pretty good, I guess.

    How to live as new people in Christ. 1- Speak the truth 2- Sin not in anger 3- Steal no longer 4- Speak no evil 5- Slander not

    For Memorial Day/Christian Legacy Sunday: We must not protect the vessel in which the Gospel is carried more than the Gospel itself. The Gospel is power; the vessel must be impervious to popularity, a good transporter. Legacy giving encouraged.

    I am not much of a gardener. The Scripture says that there is a time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted, but I must tell you that I don’t know the difference. I pluck up only what I am told to pluck up, because I don’t know a weed from a willow. However, the mistress of our little ...read more

There are just certain things needed to make a day a good day. Like the correct ingredients in baking a cake or cookies or a roast—the correct ingredients and the ...read more
