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. They may have thought because of all their good works and their busyness for God that everything was good, but it was not. In…

Destructive Compromise

In the effort to be kind, accepting, and loving, we can sometimes be harmful and destructive to ourselves and to others. Not telling someone their beliefs and actions are harmful is not only dishonest to them, it sends an dangerous message to all involved. 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,…

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…

The Importance of the Letters to the Churches

For many, church is something they go to. It is "that building with the big steeple" or maybe it's "that gathering we attend each Sunday". Some have it more correctly when they refer to the church as a group of people who meet each week to worship God. The question is, do we realize how…

The Gospel and the Pro-Life Movement

The issue of abortion is difficult, no matter how you look at it. It is emotionally and politically charged. All to often, when it is talked about, people get mad and hurt and for that reason, we tend to avoid discussing it. That is unfortunate. Today I want to address this difficult topic by beginning…

Seeing the Lord of the Church

The most important part of reading the book of Revelation and seeing the Lord. For this reason, John begins by telling us his vision of the risen and glorified Savior. Today we will focus on this part of chapter 1 as we continue studying chapter 1 of Revelation. As mentioned before, this study of the…
