    The star that some should be following is not always the Star that leads wise men to the King of kings. Take a good long look at what you are following.

    Starstruck, Stargazing, or Stardom? What star are you chasing? The Star in the East speaks of: 1.)God's Glory, 2.)His Guidance, and 3.)God's Gift Matthew 2:1,2,7-10 2 Peter 1:19 19 ¶ We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that ...read more

    Duck Dynasty Star Suspended. Why?

    Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Dec 20, 2013
     | 2,735 views

    Let’s look at what the Bible does say about the subject of homosexuality. First one that comes to mind is Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

    Duck Dynasty star suspended. That’s the big Headlines in the last couple of days. Man, Phil Roberson sure knows how to stir up folks not only by making a duck caller that works for the duck hunter and making millions of dollars doing it but, also he and his family has one of the most watched ...read more

    Responding To Disappointments: A Star And A Stable (Epiphany)

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Jan 20, 2020
     | 2,956 views

    Difficulties are part of life, how we respond is what makes the difference. Joseph and Mary faced the difficulty of being refugees in the land of Egypt in order to save the child Jesus from Herod. The "ah ha" moment is when we realize God is with us no matter where we find ourselves.

    Stars and a Stable: Responding to Disappointments One of my closest friends loves UGA! He’s a graduate and a dedicated football loyalist. Now let’s not question his Christianity just yet. He has a saying, "When I die, make sure you chant the Eucharist at my funeral mass. And make sure the ...read more

    A sermon for Palm Sunday.

    “Pop Star or Savior?” Mark 11:1-11 What is going on here? I appears that a whole crowd of people have fallen head over heels in love with Jesus! The people are infatuated. It’s as if Jesus were a pop star or something! “Many people spread out their clothes on the road while others spread ...read more

    God’s grace cures all spiritual blindness.

    The other week was interesting to say the least. Our whole family was infected with “pink eye.” Joseph had it the worst. His eyes were irritated and red; watery, itchy, and oozy. Pink eye made it hard for him to see. The doctor examined him and put him on an antibiotic drop. God examines our ...read more

FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CAN TELL IF A PERSON IS FOOLISH BY THE WAY THAT THEY CARRY THEMSELVES, AND BY THE THINGS THAT PROTRUDE FROM THEIR LIPS. YOU CAN ...read more

    Are You Willing To Be Offered?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 19, 2022
     | 738 views

    We are to shine like lights in a shadowy world. And to do that, we may have to be offered up for the sake of others.

    In light of everything that Christ was willing to do for them, Philippians 2:12-18 explains how Christians ought to live. The directive to “work out” salvation is to let the new birth in Christ manifest itself in one’s actions. Believers should serve God without complaining or griping as part of ...read more

    Allowing oneself to be invaded and rearranged by objective value is what makes life worth living.

    The Epiphany of the Lord is when Christ was made known to the magi, who represent all the nations. Today, when we say that someone has had an epiphany, we mean that the person has had a moment in which they have achieved a realization, an awareness or a knowledge of something. An AHA! MOMENT, ...read more
