    Jesus was with God at creation. He was there as a word. At Christmas we celebrate the incarnation of that word. His communication creates a reality and gives us hope for a better future.

    Advent is a time of preparation. We are preparing for the celebration of the birth of the baby Jesus. At the same, we also wait for the Second Coming, waiting for the consummation of God and God’s creation. We are waiting and we are preparing. As we prepare we must enter into dialogue. We have ...read more

    It is hard to be excited about the Second Coming after over 200 years of waiting -- how then do we continue to wait in expectation?

    College students today have it easy! My son is a student at the University of Central Florida and I have watched him register for classes. The way he does it is to go to the computer, get on the Internet, and in 5 minutes he’s registered for all of his upcoming classes. Back in my day, we had ...read more

    Tent Making, or More? October 13, 2001 Over the past decade or so, a lot of discussion about ministry has been about whether or not ministers should be tent makers or fully supported. As we are aware, in many denominations, including our own, financial conditions seem to encourage the support of ...read more

    A Biblical Look At Divorce And Remarriage

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Dec 10, 2001
    based on 91 ratings
     | 5,665 views

    This is a study of what the Scriptures teach on the subject of divorce and remarriage. The Church has failed to up-hold God’s design for marriage and has misled many by teaching the permission of divorce and remarriage under the New Covenant.

    It is reported that one in two marriages end in divorce. What begins at a wedding ceremony usually with a minister, parents and friends increasingly ends in a courtroom with a judge, lawyers and strangers. The average marriage now lasts seven years. Fifty-five percent of all Americans say a ...read more
