Through Faith Alone Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 9, 2017

The concept that we are saved by grace alone through faith alone is a solidly Biblical teaching. Last week, we looked at grace, this week we will examine the idea of faith alone. Both grace and faith are exclusive and must stand alone.

Through Faith Alone (Romans 3:23-28) 1. I had a good time visiting Dale and Katie Daniels and Mary Ann Bolinger in Warsaw/Winona Lake area. I went from there to Luke’s house.

Who Are Your Friends?

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Dec 10, 2013

Everyone needs friends. The reason the Toy Story franchise is so popular is because everyone can relate to the idea of having friends who stick with you no matter what. But for followers of Jesus this definition doesn't go far enough.

Randy Newman wrote a song called, "You Got a Friend in Me". Most folks recognize this song as the theme to the popular Toy Story franchise. According to Randy a real friend is someone who loves you and sticks with you even through your worst troubles. This is a great definition of what a friend ...read more

Individualism

Contributed by Tim Smith on Jun 16, 2013

We have become captive to the idea that faith is a private matter. In effect, we have bought into society’s value of individualism. Individualism is leading life one’s own way with little to no regard or connection to others

Individualism Joshua 7: 2-12a Imagine somebody courteously asking, “How is your family life?” or “How is your prayer life?” or “Is your thought life pure?” or “How wisely do you use your time?” or as John Wesley would ask Methodists in his day, ...read more

Who Can Be Perfect? Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

One of the most wide spread heresies among Christians is the idea that all God cares about is getting people saved. The Bible, however, makes it clear that God is not satisfied until His children are perfected, and made complete and mature in Christ.

Mozart was only 25 years old when he settled in Vienna in 1781. Ten years later he was dead, but his commitment to perfection made his mark live on and crown him as one of the princes of music. Those ten years were years of struggle for survival. He lived in poverty with little food, and often ...read more

4 Christmas Questions.

Contributed by Robert Walderman on Dec 18, 2014

When standing next to a young girl looking at Christmas tree ornaments, she turned to her mother and asked in puzzled tone why one ornament read, 'Jesus is the reason for the season.' Could it be she had no idea of the Christ of Christmas.

Sin Is A Disgrace To Any People

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jul 12, 2015

Now it would seem ridiculous to ignore sin & Satan completely, so they don’t. But what God calls sin in the Bible isn’t necessarily what they consider to be sin. And the idea of a real Satan is hard for some to accept.
