    We are promised "no more night": no more blind thrashing about, unable to see where our lives are going; no more mistrust; no more incompleteness. Sermon for Remembrance Day, when we celebrate members who have passed away in the previous year.

    Several Saturday nights ago I just was not satisfied with my preaching preparation. Somehow the message had not quite gelled, and I knew there were many improvements I needed to make before Sunday morning. But by then it was late, after a busy weekend, and I decided, hey, so what, it’ll be all ...read more

    People often misperceive righteousness as goodness or perfection. This sermon encourages righteousness as faith & actions combined... (Book of James.)

    When we read about righteous men and women of the Bible, such as King David, Father Abraham, even Rahab (a former prostitute!), we tend to forget their shortcomings and trick ourselves into believing that goodness and perfection determine how close we are to God! Illustrate the story of Moses at ...read more

    A quest for truth often begins with disillusionment, but is easily diverted to something that appears good on the surface; but when you find God's truth, even if it is in a strange place, embrace it quickly and fully.

    The LORD does not see as [men] see; they look on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart. Ridgecrest is a large Baptist-run assembly ground, nestled in the mountains of western North Carolina.

    What A Relief

    Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Mar 16, 2009
     | 3,292 views

    If our society is so sophisticated that it is tolerant of what was once known as sin, why do we still have so much depression, fatigue, illness, and violence? Is there a prescription for the underlying guilt?

    I wonder….If our society is so sophisticated that we are supposed to be beyond our need for God, why do we have so many depressed and suicidal people in our population? And if Freud was correct that all of our guilt can be tied to repression, why is it that our society of tolerance and acceptance ...read more
