I think that it is safe to assume that most of us are familiar with the saying, “A hill worth dying on!” I am sure that the original figure of speech came from an application in physical battle. Today we use it in a more figurative sense to speak of the issues we are… Continue Reading

Think Like a Mature Christian
The way that we think reveals much about who we are as a person. It is tempting when making a purchase to determine what to buy based on the monthly cost. This is really an immature way of thinking. A person that is mature will factor in a number of aspects before making a… Continue Reading

Where would we be without our Mothers? The Lord sure blessed us with his design for the family. This Sunday we will be celebrating Mother’s day in both services. Something special has been prepared for the Mothers in attendance. Happy Mothers day! Just a reminder that we make it a point to pray for the… Continue Reading
Stay Alert
This week I merged onto a highway and noticed a motorhome was behind me. For a brief moment something seemed out of place.

Embracing Your God Allowed Challenge!
I think that many of you are like me, we would prefer if someone else would deal with our life challenges for us. But in life it does not work that way. There are things that only you can address. Just today I had to go to the bank to remove my name from… Continue Reading
Death and the Believer
Most Americans would prefer to avoid anything to do with dying if at all possible. Yet, it is one of a few life outcomes that no one escapes. My burden as a pastor is that a majority of those that I have the privilege of ministering to are not prepared for it. It grieves… Continue Reading
