Friendship With God

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 6, 2006

We will not fully understand prayer if we think about it only as something to do with asking something from God. Prayer is not just about ...read more

While We Wait

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 26, 2005

Funeral service for Elizabeth Wilkey Abernethy, a quiet yet committed long-term church member who struggled with cancer for nine years. We can wait if, like Liz, we are self-controlled, upright, and godly, for the glory of the risen Christ is coming.

Do you remember that in days past shoe repair shops would advertize, “Shoes repaired while you wait”? You would go in, sit down, take off your old clodhoppers, and turn them in, ...read more
