    Erasing the excuses for being exclusive.

    Today is National Ice Cream Day. Did you know that when ice cream was invented the Quakers thought it was sinful. According to them it had to be sinful. Nothing could taste that good and not be sinful! That kind of sums up the perspective of a lot of Christ followers. If anything is fun - it ...read more

    In the 1500’s John Calvin wrote "What in the world will happen if every man is allowed to do as they please?" We are living in a time he predicted would come. We must return to Apostolic disciplne in the Church.

    How does the Bible define marriage? Why did God institute marriage in the first place? It must be clear from the outset that our final authoritative standard for our lives is the Word of God. God’s standards do not change.

    THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE MATTHEW 19:4-6 INTRODUCTION: This coming week Congress is slated to vote on a Federal Amendment defining marriage. There are those who want to establish a traditional definition of marriage. Others oppose any traditional definition and are seeking to redefine marriage. The ...read more

    God creates all things "NEW" and this is shown throughout Scripture and becomes a reality in our own lives.

    Dr. Hubbard at Fuller Seminary was speaking about the gospel of John and described it as a “new” gospel. He then explained how the Chapter 1 introduced the “new” Word—and the Word was God. Chapter 2 talks about “new” wine, better than that served before. We might guess that chapter 3’s focus is on ...read more

    The reality of the resurrection dawned slowly on those involved. Each was missing a crucial piece of the story. How does Jesus put the story of His new life together for you?

    In broadcasting or film making there are several types of ways of getting from one scene to another. Two of the most common are a cut and a fade. In a cut one scene is suddenly replaced with another. In a fade one scene fades out to black and is then slowly replaced with another that fades back up ...read more
