    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 24, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,233 views

    An empty niche above the church door, made for a statue of a saint, but now containing a hornet’s nest, suggests the choice of letting our lives be empowered by God or letting the sting of death and disappointment take over.

    The other day I was hauling in a load of stuff from my car. I came in the Aspen Street entrance to the building, the entrance nearest my office. For some reason, as I was carrying things through the door, I looked up above my head, probably to implore the Lord to give me an extra ounce of muscle ...read more

    We say we believe that God is in control. But do we really believe it?

    “Faithful Living: In the Year of Our Lord” Matthew 2:13-23 A few years ago Twila Paris recorded a sing entitled “God is in Control.” It was quite a testimony and many of us sang along with gusto and conviction! It stated musically what we believe theologically - that “No matter what, God is in ...read more

    Without a proper understanding of Jesus as King we miss one of the most sobering yet exciting elements of He is. It's an understanding that can change your life.

    “Soon – and Very Soon” Is. 65:17-25; Malachi 4:1-6; 2 Thess. 1:5-12 Sometime it is difficult for us to identify with biblical and theological concepts. For example, since we are unfamiliar with the nature and functions of a king, it is hard to get excited about Jesus as King. Yet ...read more

    While all of our Presidents have not been devout Christians, many have. Many of these deserve our respect and attention. They teach us about God through their words and actions.

    We have to admit that our Founding Fathers were brilliant men. They have given us a Constitution that is second to none and capable of lasting as long as the earth stands. One reason for this is that these men understood human nature. Within the Constitution and other American documents these men ...read more
