    Likewise, in the Bible, God put together a little instruction tag that should be attached to every church. If our church wants to operate correctly, run smoothly, and make the right plays, then it’s imperative that we follow God’s directions

    Making an Impact: Determined by Devotion I had the opportunity this week to play softball with the church team. I guess they were hard up for players. I started the game OK but ended up dropping a couple fly balls and striking out. I think they’ll think twice about inviting me to come ...read more

    The obedience of Christ elicits, draws out, the obedience of Christians.

    A CONTEXT FOR THE HYMN. Philippians 2:1-13. The word “If” that opens this passage might better be translated as “Since” (Philippians 2:1). The sense is, “If there is any encouragement in Christ (and there is), if any consolation in love (and there is), if any fellowship (sharing) in the Spirit ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 28, 2025
     | 225 views

    The ground was cursed because sin destroyed the harmony in God’s creation. In Part 1 we began the subject, and in this Part 2 we continue with the way Christ identified with the curse and now has restored to us acceptance and spiritual blessings. God has restored more than Adam knew.

    MEASURE UPON MEASURE – CURSED – THE RESTORATION OF GOD - Part 6 We continue the third consequence of sin which is CURSE, for sin produced cursing in the earth – the ground, and on creation. Last time we had covered the ruined serenity of Eden, then the results of sin (the curse this time) and we ...read more

    It’s fair to say that this life is filled with its share of problems. Some are small and some are huge and when we are in the midst of a difficult circumstance its good to be able to remember God’s word and draw strength from it.

The little boy growled, “Terrible! I struck out three times!” 3. Trying to console her son, his mom said, “That’s ...read more
