Introversion & The Small Church
Introversion – The tendency to focus energy inward resulting in decreased social interaction. Before you say it, I acknowledge that introversion can happen to churches of any size. However, looking at the small churches that are around us it is a real danger to the church today. What is wrong with being introverted? An introverted […]
True Worship
Have we missed the point of worship? Have we gone the way of the “Mc Church” rapidly serving millions with a trademark presentation of church? Have we gotten so far away from worship that we can no longer “see God” in the worship? Eph 5:18-20 …Be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, […]
Forgiven
This morning waves of emotion. It seems that as God blesses and changes my mindset it gets more difficult. As I drovethe truck (works when it is not raining) this morning trying to drive off the water in the air filter I cranked up the Skillet and just let go. God is in control and […]
The Apostles’ Creed
Thinking about adding this to our Service Sunday as a public testimony of our faith. The Apostles’ Creed has received this title because of its great antiquity; it dates from very early times in the Church, a half century or so from the last writings of the New Testament
How much more?
Matthew 7:11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I […]

This morning as I watched the news I counted 5 ads for attorney’s offering mercy from everything from bill collectors to the “evil drug companies.” I listened to the commentary of the news anchors telling me how the economy was in an up swing and that it would soon create more jobs. I listened to the rhetoric of the politicians telling me that […]
In HIS goodness.
James 1: 18 In His goodness God chose to make us His own children by giving us His true Word. And we, out of all creation, became His choice possession. As a child I memorized the book of James and although my memory is not clear enough to spit it back out word for word, […]
Becareful little eyes.
Proverbs 5:3 The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, observing the wicked and the good. Oh be careful little eyes what you see! A few weeks ago I was helping my Son in preparation for a school project looking for pictures of the African Caped Porcupine. A few searches on Google with my son and I was quickly […]
The Gospel
“the covenant of works was broken by sin and was unable to confer life” — Baptist Confession of Faith 1689 What a different way of looking at the covenant. Often we think of the covenants as something the God must keep, we focus on the fact that His promises never fail… to think that a promise […]
