    FIRE- brings light, warmth, love, gives direction, tests faith, represents wrath, is a holy calling, preparation for holy work, conveys truth and brings pardon.

    Jesus declared in Luke 12:49, “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!” We think of the meek and mild Bethlehem Babe coming to bring peace on earth, good-will to men. Jesus did indeed bring peace, but hardly the way anyone expected. Sometimes ...read more

    The Kind Of Person God Protects Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 17, 2021
     | 6,293 views

    Many of the promises of God's protection or provision in the Bible are actually conditional. They absolutely don't apply to anybody and everybody. Jesus shows us in John 6 exactly what kind of people can expect His protection and provision, and what kind of people can't.

    Psalm 91 has always, from very early in my Christian life, been one of my favorite Psalms, because it speaks so beautifully and certainly of the Lord’s protection. I mean, just listen to it—it’s makes for beautiful poetry as well as for comforting thoughts—“He who dwells in the shelter of the ...read more

    One of the least developed secrets of a thriving healthy church is that if the WHOLE church recognizes and uses their gifts, it will have great impact! God wants to use us, and has specifically designed us to be used for his glory! Part of a series base

    How To Follow Jesus--Though Persecuted Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jun 8, 2021
     | 2,333 views

    How we regard difficulties and persecutions will have everything to do with whether we respond positively or negatively to them. Surprising to us, the very things designed by men to destroy faith cause it to thrive, when we have a godly attitude.

    Jeanie and I recently read a book with a provocative name—The Insanity of God—by the pseudonymous author Nip Ripken. Of course, the title elicits the question, what is insane about God—a question the author never directly answers, but only becomes evident upon contemplation of his message. It ...read more

    During this difficult "shelter-in-place" time, we have had hopes, dreams, plans, anticipations but mostly disappoints. During this global pandemic, the most common thing we have in common is DISAPPOINTMENTS. But disappointments do not have to lead to DISCOURAGEMENT.

    During this difficult “shelter-in-place” time, perhaps we had hopes, dreams, plans anticipations but surely disappointments. We had hoped to have a Sunrise Service at the cemetery. We had hoped to have a special Easter service at the church. We had hoped to have our family ...read more

    There are going to be times when you question God’s call on your life. It is during these times in which you need a spiritual check-up.
