Dodging Decisions Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 21, 2021

What is often passed off as indecisiveness or propriety or procrastination is a dishonest attempt to keep from honoring what is right and fair. We can see Felix’s motives as an example. We can also see how God can use such red tape.

I will honor our graduates with a joke: Why did Mary want to work at a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet even though she'd received her B.A. degree?

Should Churches Do Business?

Contributed by Jeff Van Wyk on Aug 3, 2013

A church should be an active, contributing member of its community, rather than a closed-off mini-community that keeps to itself and this can extend to becoming involved in business or in the business community.

Not Just A Bunch Of Talking Heads

Contributed by Clair Sauer on Oct 1, 2009

God intends us to be united in community, a community which scatters across the earth sharing the love of Christ.
