    A Time To Dance

    Funeral sermon for Vera Byars, court information specialist and amateur dancer. Ballroom, minuet/ballet, tap -- whatever style she used, it all witnessed to a life of joy. This is not any longer a time to mourn.

    I agree with the Scripture, where it says that, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” I agree with that, because we know that some things are fine, in their place, but they are not appropriate in other places. There is a time and a season for everything, ...read more

    1988. We may be at a point in our lives where we know we will never fully realize our dreams, but we can find fulfillment if we can identify and encourage others to embody our values.

    Several years ago a rather childish and tasteless movie, but nevertheless one good for escape purposes, made the rounds. The movie was called National Lampoon’s Vacation. It starred Chevy Chase, a batch of kids, fleeting glimpses of seductive models, and a monster station wagon that developed a ...read more

    God Is In Control Of You? Series

     | 4,993 views

    One famous preacher in history stated that, "that every particle of dust that dances in the sunbeam does not move an atom more or less than God wishes.” Meaning that God controls EVERYTHING. Period. Is that true? Let's examine the Scriptures together.

    Is God in control of you? I mean, right now! Is He in control of you? There are people who believe that, yes, it is all God’s doing. Charles Spurgeon said, “I believe that every particle of dust that dances in the sunbeam does not move an atom more or less than God ...read more

     | 14,449 views

    If you are saved and choose to ignore your family/friends, you will still go to heaven but if they die in their sins they will spend eternity in hell remembering that you refused every opportunity you had to tell them how to be saved.

    Who Was Cain's Wife?

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Sep 6, 2015
     | 7,839 views

    Some have adopted the viewpoint that Cain's wife belonged to a separate group of people with little or no connection with Adam and Eve. However, the Gospel message requires that all have descended from Adam and Eve..

    Why is it important? Many skeptics have claimed that, for Cain to find a wife, there must have been other ‘races’ of people on the Earth who were not descendants of Adam and Eve. To many people, this question is a stumbling block to accepting the creation account in Genesis and its ...read more
