All Prepared

Contributed by Paul Davidson on Jan 26, 2021

Today, If You Hear His Voice . . . Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 1, 2021

The possibility of falling away from Christ is greater than most of us think--no one is entirely immune from this awful outcome. It all begins with how we come to respond to God's voice, when we know He has spoken to us, and even in small things, choose to ignore Him.

One of the great challenges of the pastoral profession is discerning who to help among those who are in evident financial need, and when to help them, and then how much to help them. Despite our best and most sincere efforts, pastors young and old, sometimes fail. I remember well the story of a ...read more

Celebrate Salvation!

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021

This impulse must always live among us: a joyful seeking after the LORD. For we’ve seen how God has saved us through his only Son. We have such great reason for joy, even if we possess little, or even if we have much to grieve. Even so, there is great joy in Christ.

If there’s ever a special occasion, we like to celebrate it with a meal. If someone graduates from school, or has a significant birthday, or if there’s a wedding, we get together for something to eat and drink. For food can be very festive. We see this in the Bible too. Think of all the feasts God ...read more
