Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 25, 2012

What "gods" was David witnessing to? And how can the decision he made influence our choices in how we witness for our Lord?

God And Beauty

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

May the prayer of each of our lives be, "Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me." May our lives be filled with the flower power of the Lily of the Valley.

When my daughter was little I use to take her for a ride on a mini bike through the fields. There were a number of wild flowers, and just on impulse I said to Cindy, "Let's see how many flowers we can find out here." Every time we saw a different kind of flower she would pick it, ...read more

Today Is A Good Day To Die

Contributed by Ken Henson on Apr 21, 2019

Almost every time the Bible refers to the Resurrection of Jesus, it refers to our call to follow Him to the cross. Without death there is no resurrection. Jesus bids us "come, and die".

Today is a good day to die. Warning (Spoiler?). Today’s message is going to be morbid-focused on death. I’ll confess, I’m a Star Trek fan, And there is a species in the series that is very focused on warrior virtues. Any episode where there is a battle, and there seems to be a likelihood of ...read more

Clothed With Christ Series

Have you ever tried to prove yourself—only to realize the gift was already yours? In Galatians 3, Paul reminds us that we don’t need to earn God’s love—we’re already clothed in Christ.

I remember the first suit I ever bought for myself. It was 1988, and I was working at Men’s Wearhouse—so I had access to the good stuff, not Hart, Shafner, and Marx, but high quality suits. I picked out a charcoal gray, double-breasted suit with chalk line pinstripes. Sharp. Classic. It was a $300 ...read more
