    Getting Life Right: No Rules, Just Right Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on May 18, 2020
     | 4,708 views

    The Old Testament is not a book of rules, but a guide to WHO God is, WHAT righteousness is, and HOW to bring righteousness into our lives. Jesus fulfills the law, but affirms its continuing relevance.

Just Right.” The slogan conveyed a relaxed attitude, symbolized by the lack of a set closing time posted on the door, and leaving no customer request unfulfilled. NO ...read more

    Getting Life Right: Promises Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on May 18, 2020
     | 4,251 views

    Life is built on promises. Every word a Christian speaks represents God, whether we take an oath in his name or simply make a promise.

    Getting Life Right: PROMISES—Matthew 5:33-37 “You promised.” There’s something about that! There is something about a child being able to trust a parent’s promises, a husband or wife trusting every commitment made, or being able to count on people at work to do what promise to do.
