    Whenever you're feeling down or having a sense of worthlessness, remember that you are unique to God and have been put here for a very specific purpose. Know what your purpose is!

    I was speaking to an old friend last week. His Birthday is the day following mine.

We haven’t spoken lately at all ...read more

    The New Testament never requires sacrifices or dreams or visions as either the means or the indicator of spirituality. . . If we focus on Jesus and His word, we will remain anchored in truth and humility

    16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. 18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility ...read more

    Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor...

    Jesus offers rest to His followers--from the troubles of the world, yes, but especially from the burdensome weight (the yoke) of the Law.

    One of the highlights of our trip to Germany—beyond all of the historical Luther sites and exhibits—was the opportunity to visit the city of Osnabruck. There’s nothing of particular importance for Lutherans about Osnabruck. We visited purely for my own sake. My branch of the Meyer family came ...read more

    Christ offers his life for us, the undeserving; now we are to offer our lives as "living sacrifices" for him.

    Text: Romans 5: 6-8 This morning I want to talk to you about SACRIFICE. Not like some of the sacrifices we are from time to time asked to make…perhaps financial sacrifice, or sacrifice of some of our time. ….But the kind of sacrifice wherein one person lays down their life for the sake of ...read more

    Jeroboam seeks God only when he wants something, only on his own terms, only to fix his problems, and only for himself. We are to seek God for WHO He is. We worship Him and obey Him because He is the Lord of our lives.

    In 1 Kings 13, God interrupted the King’s pagan worship proceedings when he sent a man of God to declare His judgement. • He gave King Jeroboam a chance to repent, but 13:33 says EVEN AFTER THIS, the King did not change his evil ways. Sadly, the King made no effort in knowing God or ...read more
