Contributed by Jerry Flury on Sep 27, 2002

When we think of stewardship, we often see it merely as a matter of our giving of money to God and the church. Giving of tithes and offerings is an important aspect of stewardship, but secondary. Stewardship is a reflection of my relationship with God.

Stewardship is Lordship Proverbs 3:5-10 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to your navel, and marrow ...read more

It's Time To Seek Him

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Aug 17, 2014

No sin can be more devastating to the church or more deadly to the individual than the sin of indifference. We need to seek Him.

They were moving forward, yet asleep and indifferent to everything around them. Thousands are like them in spiritual matters. They are as the old hymn says 'passing onward, ...read more

A Risen Redeemer Series

We want to consider the great story of the resurrection from the point of view of the women who came to the tomb with no hope of a resurrected Jesus.

Thermometer Or Thermostat: Which Are You?

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 9, 2022

A thermometer tells how hot or cold something or someone is. It doesn’t try to change its environment. A thermostat, on the other hand, alters the temperature. Christians should be thermostats, changing their neighborhoods, families, work, etc.

The Bridge Of Reconciliation Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

It is finished, said Jesus. The cross was a success, and God in Christ did build a bridge which reconciled the world to Himself. The fact is, however, that this bridge, like any other bridge, only has value as it is crossed.

One of the 7 wonders of the natural world is the famous Natural Bridge of Virginia. Tons of solid rock form a bridge over a creek 215 feet below. This massive masterpiece of God's bridge-building skill has caused many to stand in awe and recognize that, not only the heavens, but the earth as ...read more
