Not A Heretic Hunter

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jan 12, 2022

| 2,205 views

These days you do not have to hunt heresy as it comes right out of the darkness and parades itself in the open field.

We live in an age where no one likes to be challenged or corrected. I do not like to be wrong, but I have told congregations to go home and study the Word after a sermon to be sure I know what I am talking about. If I do not, do not leave me ...read more

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 9, 2021

Breath prayer is a form of prayer that is invading the progressive church. Is it Biblical? Is it what God desires? Where did it come from? Should we make it a part of our devotional practices? May the Lord give us discernment.

Breath Prayer Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:9-12 “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Isn’t Advent a time of expectation and preparation? Doesn’t Advent challenge us to make changes in our lives? ... Didn’t David write this Psalm expressing remorse as well as the hunger for righteousness that only God could give him? Do we have that yearning in common with David?

A Christian Point Of View

Contributed by Dennis King on Jun 18, 2018

| 3,385 views

But how do we keep a 'right' point of view about Jesus and the Christmas Story in the face of so much that influences us otherwise?

How we interpret our feelings about a particular event or circumstance is not always the same as someone else. When others take great risks in life, you might tend to label them foolhardy. When you take chances, you are adventurous. If someone else suggests a correction, are they nit-picky or ...read more

To share that Easter is about forgiveness and we can receive it through the Risen Savior.

On the whole being prepared isn’t a bad thing. In fact it can be downright crucial! Most people I know that have had a very difficult life, it is not that they could not have done much better in life, it was simply a lack of preparation.

At Christmas, we might wonder what made Mary so special to God? We may find the answer in one word she used to describe herself to Gabriel: "Handmaid".

Mary the "Slave-Girl" Luke 1:26-38 Pastor Dave Campbell Mary must have been quite a girl. To be chosen of God to bear His Son and raise Him to adulthood was no small thing!
