Contributed by John Rohrbeck on Aug 2, 2008

No matter how well we think we have made preparations, there are times that we fall short of our goal. It is not through our own efforts that we will attain eternal life - it is only through obedience to God’s plan and acceptance of Jesus as our Savior.

Wednesday evening – How do we put that in perspective? We thought we had a plan. We were taking the youth to the Real Life Church in Macon to their Judgement House presentation called “the METH Effect”. I had called earlier in the week to try to make a reservation and was told that the earliest ...read more

An overview of the Christian history of attitudes to work, the need for a renewed sense of call at work, and a renewed sense of mission

If We Say..... Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on May 7, 2012

Can you spell SIN? M-I-S-T-A-K-E? It is pretty easy because it has a huge I right in the middle. That is the essence of sin. The holy trinity of sin is me, myself and I. Sin is our major problem, sin is why Christ had to com

Have you ever asked God "Why?" I'm sure that was the question on the lips of John's disciples following the news of his execution.
