I marvel at how often the book of Psalms talks about meditating on the word of God. Most of those psalms were written by David, the man God describes as having a heart like God Himself. Perhaps the key to our own spiritual growth is found in doing what David did to have a godly heart. The goal in our life should…

I am amazed at how the Global Positioning System, more popularly known as GPS, has saturated our society.  By using a complex system of orbiting satellites, the precise location of any place, person or moving vehicle can be pinpointed.  Parents can now know where their teens are spending their time and employers can know where the company vehicles are being driven.  The…

There is no way to express just how much God wants every person to be in heaven.  The fact that He worked for 4,000 years to get everything ready to announce His plan on Pentecost shows the love He has for the lost.  So, instead of just quoting John 3:16 from rote memory, take time to read every word of this well-known…

There are phrases that appear repeatedly and each of them gives great insight into the nature of God and the importance of those who deliver His message.

We apologize to those who missed the bulletin for the past two…

I have a childhood memory of a song we sang which was intriguing, but we had no idea about it’s meaning. The words, as I remember them, were, “Head bone connected to the neck bone; the neck bone connected to the shoulder bone; the shoulder bone connected to the back bone; the back bone connected to the thigh bone . . .”…

It seems like every week there is another effort by those who are seeking to legitimize the practice of homosexuality in America. While 30 states have a constitutional amendment prohibiting same-sex marriage, there is an ongoing effort to create a nation approving this practice. At least six states now recognize these “marriages” and efforts continue in most other states to change existing…
