    The Real St. Patrick "from Captive To Courageous"

    Contributed by Kelly Benton on Mar 3, 2026
     | 125 views

    Patrick’s story gives us snapshots — moments of pain, calling, forgiveness, obedience — and with each moment, we’re going to anchor it in God’s Word. Because the power is not in Patrick. The power is in the truth of Scripture that shaped him.

    When most people hear “Saint Patrick,” they think: Shamrocks. Parades. Corned beef. Green everything. But Patrick was not about parties. He was about purpose. He was not Irish by birth. He was not lucky. He was not chasing comfort. He was a kidnapped teenager who became a missionary to the very ...read more

    Pastor Not Chairman

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Feb 13, 2021
     | 2,295 views

    Not happy with the way your church is going? Let your pastor be a pastor, not the Chairman of the Board or the CEO.

    Topic on LinkedIn - Why Are Churches Run Like a Business When Paul's Model Kept Business and Church Separate? My comment: I believe that God calls pastors and not CEOs. Had the Church kept things simple we would not have the issues to address. Act 6:3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among ...read more

    God calls us, but we tend to ignore His call.

    1 Samuel 3:1-10 The boy Samuel ministered before the LORD under Eli. In those days the word of the LORD was rare; there were not many visions.

    Praying With Power

    Most Christians say they believe in prayer but in reality, they don’t see much power in it. I think the reason for this is they don’t pray much. Like the subject of love it is easy to talk about but not as easy to put into practice.

    Praying With Power James 5: 13-18 Do you remember the TV commercial for the investment firm of E.F. Hutton? What was their catch slogan? When E.F. Hutton speaks people listen. Well you know what? When Christians pray, God listens. I read of a town in the mid-west that had two churches and ...read more

    This week we examine the parables of "lostness" focusing on the parable of "The Compassionate Father and His Two Lost Sons." While the prodigal son’s lostness is obvious, the elder son is lost in his own way as well.

    Parables of Jesus Welcome Home Luke 15:11-32 April 26, 2009 A family had put the carcass and scraps from their turkey dinner in a trash bag and set it outside next to the back steps intending to clean up and then put the bag in the can after making sure that nothing else needed to go in the bag. ...read more

    World Hunger Sunday: The younger son found that physical hunger starved his soul; the elder son found that spiritual hunger hardened his heart; the Father hungers for all of his children’s needs.

    When I read the Gospels, I know that Jesus must have been a Baptist, and the twelve disciples must have been the Deacons of the First Baptist Church of Galilee. Must have been! Do you know why?
