Realistic Reminders Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 17, 2020

We need reminders to keep us realistic about human social behavior, about our tendency to accommodate our own sin, and about the nature of government leaders.

Realistic Reminders (Proverbs 28:11-16) 1. Everyone is forgetful at times. The difference is often this: some people remember they are absent-minded, others forget they are absent-minded. 2. One of my favorite original jokes is also true: I read a book about how to remember, but forgot what it ...read more

Sermon On Impetuosity

Contributed by William Meakin on Dec 3, 2020

Act in haste, repent at leisure

Edward Whymper, FRSE, the English mountaineer, explorer, illustrator, and author best known for the first ascent of the Matterhorn in 1865, once stated: “Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end.” Proverbs 21:5 supports this in that: “The plans ...read more

A Merry Heart Does Good Like A Medicine

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 7, 2020

Depression, anxiety, and fear are 3X what they were. God has a remedy -- a Merry Heart! We must reject negative thinking and focus on God and His promises. The key is a heart-connection to Jesus Christ; this us from outward circumstances.

Small, medium, or large?” The young man said, “I want to buy one of each.” “Why?” 2. Young man said, ...read more

Thoughts On Public Schooling: Should Christians Homeschool Their Children?

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 30, 2021

Many an average American boy or girl will be raised up in the school rooms of public education. I would like to share some thoughts from great minds on education itself, public education, and wisdom. I'd also like to share my personal experiences in the public education system.

“The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.” ? Martin Luther King Jr. Many ...read more

The truth is just as true when spoken by a sinner as by a saint. Never dismiss a truth because of its source. A tin cup carries water as well as a gold one, and you can be refreshed out of either vessel.

Old Dogs And New Tricks Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

Shallowness always leads to folly, but depth, when it is directed by wisdom, will lead to a life pleasing to God and appealing to man. Very seldom is a truly wise man proud. He is humbled because he knows so well how little he really knows.

Proverbs by their very nature are often paradoxical, and they often seem to contradict one another. They only do so, however, if we take them as absolutes which are true in every case. If we take them as stating a truth of a segment of reality, and not all of reality, we will see there are ...read more

Where Knowledge Begins Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021
