    Contributed by John Thompson Ritchie on Dec 2, 2014
     | 6,707 views

    Message is a call to men to step up and fulfill their God-given role to lead spiritually. It is also a call to roles of spiritual mentorship beyond the scope of fatherhood as traditionally defined.

    Father's Day Missing in Action or Right on the Money? Joshua 24:15 "And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve ; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell : ...read more

    Individualism

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Jun 16, 2013
     | 5,120 views

    We have become captive to the idea that faith is a private matter. In effect, we have bought into society’s value of individualism. Individualism is leading life one’s own way with little to no regard or connection to others

    Individualism Joshua 7: 2-12a Imagine somebody courteously asking, “How is your family life?” or “How is your prayer life?” or “Is your thought life pure?” or “How wisely do you use your time?” or as John Wesley would ask Methodists in his day, ...read more

    We have become captive to the idea that faith is a private matter. We have bought into society’s value of individualism. Individualism is leading life one’s own way with little to no regard or connection to others. But is that what God wants for us?

    The Pastoral Challenge

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 24, 2022
     | 4,205 views

    Timothy was not technically a pastor; he was actually Paul’s “delegate.” Nonetheless, he approximated the pastoral role in that he was a shepherd. Timothy faced a number of challenges, as do modern pastors who are serious about the Word. Let’s look at a few of them.

    The Pastoral Challenge (I Timothy 4:6-16) 1. At a recent pastor’s retreat each minister in attendance was asked the following question: “How many people does it take to replace a burnt out light bulb?” The answers were as follows. 2.A Reformed Pastor responded, “None. If God wants the bulb ...read more

    When Is It Right To Be Contentious? Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 6, 2026
     | 98 views

    God entrusts defense of the Faith to members of the congregation of the Faithful. Each church member is to stand firm against error rather than depending upon specialists.

    “Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.” When our children were young, we taught them a little rhyme. You may have recited it with your ...read more

    Envy and self-satisfaction are destructive forces in the life of God’s children.

    Text: “For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and every evil practice” (James 3:16). I would venture to say that all of us have harbored envy at some time in our life time. It is not uncommon for us to resent someone because they have accomplished something in ...read more

     | 22,726 views

    n difficult situations, it’s easy to say we trust God and yet try to handle things ourselves without turning to Him and His Word. This is masked unbelief. Although God is constantly working, He allows us to set a limit on the degree of work He does ...

    Opening illustration: A child once asked, “What does God do all day?” If the answer to that question depended on how much we allow God to do in our individual lives, some of us would have to reply, “Not much!” In difficult situations, it’s easy to say we trust God and ...read more

     | 10,115 views

    We too may doubt our own abilities and potential. But let us never doubt what God can do with us when we trust and obey Him. We can fight and face any fear when we know the Lord is with us.

    Opening illustration: A mother asked her 5-year-old son to go to the pantry to get her a can of tomato soup. But he refused and protested, “Its dark in there.” Mom assured Johnny, “it’s okay. Don’t be afraid. Jesus is in there.” So Johnny opened the door slowly and seeing that it was dark, shouted, ...read more
