Individualism Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on Jun 17, 2013

We have become captive to the idea that faith is a private matter. We have bought into society’s value of individualism. Individualism is leading life one’s own way with little to no regard or connection to others. But is that what God wants for us?

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 7, 2025

This is the final part and we look at a numbers of issues here as well as two statements from Internet sites on why membership is important. Over and over I am opposing this notion that commitment is connected with official membership. It is judgemental and untrue. I hope this is of some value.

An Ascension Gift Basket For You!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on May 22, 2023

Although the Bible doesn’t call it a “gift basket” it does use the word “gifts” in connection with our Savior’s ascension into heaven. Because of Jesus' ascension we receive many gifts. In Luke's account of the ascension we notice three.

Now as you think of gift baskets what makes them different from other gifts? Although perhaps you can think of many more things that make ...read more
