Holy People

Charles Spurgeon

“The children of God are a holy people; —for this very purpose were they born and brought into the world, that they should be holy; for this they were redeemed with blood and made a peculiar people. God’s end in election, the end of all his purposes, is not answered until they become a people […]

A Call To Prayer – Clara Brooks

Come, ere the shadows lengthen, Bring Him thy burdened heart; Come where His grace may strengthen, Come from thy cares apart. Softly I hear Him calling, Calling at close of day; Sweetly His tones are falling, “Come to the throne and pray."

Softly the evening vespers Hallow the closing day; Sweetly the Savior whispers, “Come to the throne and pray.” Refrain: Softly I hear Him calling, Calling at close of day; Sweetly His tones are falling, “Come to the throne and pray.” Come, ere the shadows lengthen, Bring Him thy burdened heart; Come where His grace may […]

Greater than your mistakes

Peace in Christ when we are at war in the world.

Ever feel like you are stuck in a mistake?  Like you are reliving Ground Hog day over and over again, where nothing goes right.  Where you keep choosing to do the things you don’t want to do.  Where you keep trying to do what is right and you still end up making the wrong choices… […]

ICE – Winnebago County Detention Center

75%of the arrests by ICE in the United States are of violent offenders. 25% of arrests currently are of offenders that are willingly breaking the law even if “minor.” Should Immigration and Customs Enforcement use our local facility to house the felons even temporarily? They asked me to sign a letter from clergy to force […]
