    Technology And The Soul Of Man

    How should the Christian view technology?

    Technology and the Soul of Man Genesis 4:16-24 We live in a blizzard of new technology today. We even wonder how we could live without it. I can remember the surprise snowstorm which hit the South in March of 1993 when the power was out in some places here for a week. It was interesting to see how ...read more

    A Crack Pot Or A Cracked Pot

    Contributed by Keith Broyles on Oct 7, 2014
     | 12,408 views

    God can use our cracks, our flaws to spread the Living Water to those in the world around us. When we live our faith, when we show our faith, the Living Water is pouring from us, despite our condition, to change the world.

    Just in case you didn’t know, according to Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary, a crackpot is defined as “a person who is crazy or very strange.” I am sure this was not a news flash for just about anyone here this morning. I spent quite a bit of time this past week trying ...read more

    Conceiving Iniquity And Bringing Forth Wind Series

    We learn from bitter experience how wrong it is to ignore God's will and do things our own way. If this leads to pain, even the pain can be a way to focus us on the right way.

    Thursday of 15th Week in Course Lumen Fidei Let’s be frank about today’s reading from Isaiah, because he is speaking about a Hebrew people who did not do God’s will. They chased after what he calls “other lords”–the Baals and Astartes. They engaged in all ...read more

    Babel

    The sin of pride, self-glory, provoked the building of the tower, and the sin of distrust led these people away. God can take our confusion and replace it with clarity.

    (The actual title of the sermon is: ""Wir steigen hinab und vewirren ihre Sprache") When you scanned the bulletin this morning you may have been a bit confused about my sermon title…"What in the world is this about?" And you’d have some idea of how the world felt at Babel. "Wir ...read more

     | 5,932 views

    We should all be “treating” the Lord with our devotion and reverence. But how many of us are trying to “trick” Him? How many of us are doing things to appease God, while at the same time we’re pleasing the world or ourselves?

    Halloween is a holiday that most children look forward to, because they get to dress up as their favorite storybook character or superhero; and then go knocking on doors and hopefully come home with a big bag full of candy. And what’s that expression that kids say while they’re standing on ...read more

    God can see us all the time, whether we acknowledge him or not.

    How many of you have played peek-a-boo with a baby? Fun, isn’t it? But eventually they figure out that you can see them even when they can’t see you, and the thrill goes away. It’s a control thing, I think... they’re learning that what they do has an effect on their environment, and sometimes it ...read more

    While God May Be Found (July 17, 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jul 15, 2022
     | 2,379 views

    Who would argue against the understanding that we live in a day when many take God for granted? One thing that eighth chapter of Amos makes clear is that moving away from God invites destruction. The opening image of ripe fruit cuts to the chase as a metaphor for God’s judgement.

    WHILE GOD MAY BE FOUND Texts: Isaiah 55:6, Amos 8:1- 2, 8:11- 12 Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Hime while He is near Amo 8:1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2 And he said, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A basket of ...read more

    When God Seems Slow

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 25, 2025
     | 152 views

    When God seems slow, fear builds idols. Trust Jesus, who breaks our false gods and restores us to the only Savior worth waiting for.

    Introduction — The Silence That Feels Dangerous They waited. Moses went up the mountain to talk with God. Israel watched him go until he was only a speck on the slope…and then he disappeared into the cloud of glory. The first day, there was awe. The third day, curiosity. By day ten…whispers.

    The title is slightly tongue in cheek, but essentially this is an all-age talk given at a Baptism service where we had an extra 100 guests, many of whom were seekers, sceptics, and not-yet-Christians. The point of the talk was to tell people that being a
