Is church really worth our time? Our time is inherently valuable so we want to make sure that we are spending our time on things that have value. Is church one of them?
The 9-5, Monday-Friday, 40 hour per week, weekends off work week seems to be a thing of the past for many people. Various start times and shifts throughout the day and night, rotating schedules and “on call” demands have certainly redefined what a “normal” work week looks like. You combine that ...read more

What is a Christian? What does it mean to be one in today’s post Christian society
What is a Christian? In a few funeral preparation talks, I have people who have described their lost loved one in these terms He didn’t believe in God He didn’t go to Church But he was a good Christian. That isn’t a very useful definition of what is a Christian So what is a Christian? In Acts ...read more

My new bride had been raised in a Baptist church and I was a freshly catechized Lutheran. We tried the local Lutheran Church – but it was not an ...read more

Eleventh in a series on Ephesians. Our situation was hopeless, but God intervened.
