Repulsive Christianity

So if God was giving out spiritual report cards, how do you think you would make out? What criteria do you think God would use? As mentioned before, these seven letters in Revelation 2 nd 3 are spiritual report cards to the 7 seven churches and sadly, several need remediation. None of them, however, need…

An Encouragement to Faithfulness

I remember about 10 years ago I was helping to load a full length flatbed trailer with haybales. I was on the ground with two of my boys while the farmer was on the truck. I hadn't worked that hard physically in quite a while and by the time we were on the top layer,…

The Dead Church

Annual doctor visits are recommended because there are a variety of cancers and medical conditions that can be successfully treated if they are caught it time. Unfortunately, many people walk around with serious health conditions, such as blocked arteries and dangerously high blood pressure, and they don’t even know it. They need an outside source,…

Walking on Thin Ice

Not every message is encouraging or inspirational. Sometimes bad news needs to be delivered, hard things need to be said. So it is with the letter to the Church in Thyatira.

It approves a destructive behavior that will likely grow and be…

Suffering for Christ

Doesn't sound like much of a slogan for an ad campaign, does it? Yet the reality is, faithful followers of God have known persecution since the beginning of time. Why? Because since the fall in Genesis, this world has been under the influence of Satan and anyone seeking God has been in his crosshairs. God,…

I want to invite you to join us this Sunday Morning at 9:30 for the beginning of a new series on the Bible. We will begin by answering questions like "what makes the Bible so special?" and "how did we get the Bible?". We will briefly discuss the reliability of our English translations of the…

Loosing Sight of Why We Do What We Do

Have you ever gotten so wrapped up in doing something that you forgot why you are doing it? That sounds crazy, and sometimes it's kind of funny when it happens, but it can be very serious. A task that starts out brining us joy and satisfaction can become wearisome and mundane if we forget the…
