The Lord Is My Shepherd

Contributed by Jerry Smith on Feb 6, 2014

Psalm 23 is a commonly known, oft-quoted Psalm which many have memorized or display promptly in their homes. However, from the very beginning of the Psalm, we see that it is quite personal.

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD Perhaps as a shepherd, David often mused or thought on the things of the Lord. The word muse means to think, ponder, or consider. Psalm 23, is evidence that David spent time considering and meditating on God ("musing"). How much the Lord might reveal to us about Himself if ...read more

Faith And Doubt In Between

Contributed by Jon Lipka on Apr 29, 2014

During our life, from baptism and going home to the Lord, we live "in between" faith and doubt. But not all doubt is bad, and it can be used to draw us closer to God.

What is our motto? “A believing church in a doubting world.” St. Thomas the Disciple is a church that believes in the Lord Jesus Christ. What does that—believing in Jesus Christ—mean? Isn’t that the real question? Lots of churches, real and so-called, profess some ...read more

Repairing Broken Altars

Contributed by David Seeley on Jan 15, 2005

Papa God!

Contributed by Bala Samson on Sep 24, 2015

After God created Adam, ‘Papa God’ got busy doing things one after the other for His son Adam, it was like a home with a new born baby!

Papa God! Genesis 2:8” And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.” I read something delightful today from the book of Genesis chapter two, and I thought it would bless you too! May be there’s something in it for each one ...read more

How To Be An Attractive Youth Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

This proverb is worthless to the millions of teens whose parents are not giving them guidance and instruction. The best thing the church can do for the home is to seek to make it what the Bible assumes it will be and that is a place of learning.

Every young person wants to be attractive. Teens suddenly discover that they are drawn to each other because of their attractiveness, and they want to be attractive themselves. It is then that the mirror, mirror on the wall become the idol of them all. They become very sensitive about their body, ...read more

Working Women And Titus 2:5

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 31, 2017

Decades ago, most Christian pastors, teachers, and counselors in effect tore-out of their Bibles the portion of Titus 2:5 which enjoins that women (especially younger women) are to be “keepers at home.”

For over a half-century, we have witnessed our society depart from God's will in regard to the differing roles and responsibilities that individuals are to play based upon their gender. Feminism, more than any other ungodly philosophy, has motivated American and European societies to reject the ...read more

The Christian And The Occult Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Apr 24, 2017

The occult is all around us. It invades our homes via entertainment, lures power-seekers, the superstitious, escapists, and thrill seekers. A solid Biblical foundation is the best inoculation against this lure.

Commissioned For Missions

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 12, 2022

Commissioning Service: This message explores a significant ministry, as it looks at the "missionary call." To be discussed is the role played by God, and also the commitment required of the home church in the missionary’s support.

During the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940, Winston Churchill said of the brave men of the Royal Air Force, “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” A similar statement could be made concerning the missionaries from our churches. Compared to the larger ...read more
