    How to deal with stress

    Swindoll in Stress Fracture: Whoever dubbed our times “The Aspirin Age” didn’t miss it very far. It is correct to assume there has never been a more stress-ridden society than ours.

    Precious Life

    What God says is what matters. Human life is very precious to God.

    There is ample evidence in the Bible that God views human life differently than He does any other life form. One presidential candidate recently said, “I will be a president to the animals, too, because I stand for animal rights.” There are people who have waged war with their city hall in order ...read more

    Stutzman, an old order Amishman who built a chair for the return of Jesus, was wrong about a lot of things. But he had a passion for the presence of God. Do we?

    Paul, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, believes it’s extremely important that you and I know who we are...in Christ. What we think about our identity—who we are-- can make all the difference in how live this life...in Christ and do Kingdom work.

    I think we have an identity crisis in America...and quite possibly around the world. So many young people gain their identity from the latest fashions, trends or from their friends. Many Christians today, also, have an identity crisis. Most of us perceive our identity more from our family, our ...read more

    God patiently tolerates the presence of the weeds in His field rather than risk uprooting even a single stalk of wheat.

    Lectionary 16 A Matthew 13:24-30; 36-43 This morning our Gospel text explores a very important issue that I think all of us have contemplated at one point or another.

    Second in the series based on Max Lucado’s book 6 Hours one Friday. God worked miracles for Moses, Daniel, Shadrach, Meschach and Abendego, and he will do it for us if we learn to trust and obey.

    He’ll do it again Last week we discussed the three F’s the three storms that hit us. One of those was the Futility. Futility hits especially when we are weary.
