    Have you ever wanted something so badly from God that you were willing to not let Him go until you got it?

    If you could go back and get an accurate count, how many decisions do you think you made last year? If the truth were to be known, the number would probably be in the tens or even hundreds of thousands, wouldn’t it? Now, exactly what is a decision? A decision is a point in time where you ...read more

    It is OK to bury the dead. If your church is dead, join with another one and repurpose your building or sell it giving the money to poor, missions or something useful.

    Revelation 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

    The Apostle Paul’s message to the men of Athens at the Areopagus gives us a model for sharing Christ with others. We start with their natural knowledge of God and transition to the revealed knowledge of God.

    What is the “natural knowledge” of God? Since our “examination / confirmation Sunday” is just over a month away I hope that one of our confirmands can answer that question.
