    Presidents' Days Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Dec 29, 2020
     | 3,449 views

    While all of our Presidents have not been devout Christians, many have. Many of these deserve our respect and attention. They teach us about God through their words and actions.

One reason for this is that these men understood human nature. Within the Constitution and other American documents these men ...read more

    Maintaining healthly boundaries begins with self-respect & core identity in Christ. Out of that flows the ability to set boundaries on ourselves by the grace of God. Then we are positioned to establish healthy boundaries in our relationships.

If you allow others to impose their plan on you, there is a very real danger you will not fulfill God’s plan for you.i Maintaining healthy boundaries in our ...read more

    Does our faith permit us to disobey the government or to evade taxes? Are Romans 13 and Acts 5 incompatible? How can we sincerely and creatively live as citizens of two kingdoms? What is the underlying principle that governs our choices?

    [Sermon preached on 4 November 2018, 24th Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Some years ago, we needed to get a little home renovation done. I asked someone for a quotation.

    Your restriction, though onerous, may be God's means of bringing glory to His Name through promoting you. This becomes obvious through a study of Joseph's trials and promotion as God worked in his life.

    “Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined, and he was there in prison. But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. And the keeper of the prison put Joseph in ...read more

    God is not the author of evil and suffering in the world. Evil and suffering are consequences of our actions. Original Sin.

    “God must not be good because He created evil.” There is no question that our world is filled with evil and suffering. We come into contact with it every day of our lives and are forced to deal with it on an emotional, intellectual and practical level. How can we believe that God is both good ...read more
