     | 4,054 views

    "The Sad Thing About Sodom" was the fact that there was one child of God there who should have been a witness and testimony of the one true God who could change their lives, but he was too backslidden to help.

    THE SAD THING ABOUT SODOM Text: Gen.19: 27, 28 Intro: The ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah shall forever live in infamy. The very mention of their names brings to mind thoughts of hellish depravity and horrible destruction, the latter being the result of the former. They stand in biblical ...read more

    Worship God To be here for any other reason is in vain!

    Except the Lord Builds the House, the Laborers Labor in Vain

    1) A house must be built by someone - Many people claim to be builders, few are craftsman. God makes it very clear that for our homes there is Only one true craftsman "the Lord”.

    The rebellious want to believe a lie, escape responsibility and avoid God, but the people of God are called to model truth and love.

    Very often, on my day off, I enjoy going to the state forest near Loudonville and hiking through the woods. I put something to eat and drink in my pack and head out. I am energized by being alone where there are no phones or other means of communication — except the best communication one can ...read more

     | 11,800 views

    Life is hard, unfair, and sometimes just plain messy! It requires sacrifice! This is true even of God, who sent His Son as a Sacrifice -- a lamb -- who would pay the price for the injustice, sinful messiness of humanity.

    Isa 53:1-12 1 Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? 2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. 3 He was despised and ...read more

    When we see God as weighty, we won’t want to take His name lightly.

    People get mixed up on my name all the time. Some people call me “Bill” and I’ve even been called “Brain,” though I’m not sure where that one comes from. When I’m called “Mr. Bill” people around my age think of his sidekick “Sluggo” and start laughing. I like to joke having three first names ...read more
