Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 13, 2022

Light accepted, is life obtained, but light rejected, is darkness accepted, and life forfeited. Jude writes of these blasphemers, unreasoning animals acting by instinct, who destroy themselves. Men's hearts follow evil to their own destruction. False teachers will be destroyed.

There’s Always More

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 15, 2023

Even when we feel drained physically and financially, we still need to offer what resources we do have - and in so doing, find that we can do more than we thought.

I have a lot of fellow feeling for the disciples in today’s story. I expect all of us who have put so much time and effort into VBS do, too. It’s done! We can put our feet up and have something to eat, talk about how everything went, see how well we did, maybe get a stroke or two for the old ego. ...read more

Pain, Perseverance, And Pure Joy - James 1:2-4 Series

When James commands us to consider it pure joy when we suffer, does that mean we are to pretend we are happy when we aren’t?

Marks Of The True Church: Truth Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 17, 2024

Christians are to be immersed in the truth as they are sanctified in this life. We are immersed in truth as we immerse ourselves in the Word of God and as we invest ourselves in the congregation wherein the Spirit of Christ has placed us.

“Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.” [1] Truth is in short supply in our world. Tragically, truth has been largely sacrificed for what has come to be known as “truthiness” in our world today. Perhaps that has always been the case, but it is certainly apparent that this is the case ...read more
