Three or four years ago our son was really caught up in politics. He was very involved in one advocacy group that was pressuring him to travel to Washington D.C. to march to the capital and voice displeasure with some of our political leaders. I was concerned for his safety and urged him not to go. Ultimately he chose not to travel, but not after criticizing me and “my generation” for our lack of ...  Read More

How should we regard the church of our Lord? Why should we hold it in high regard? For some, it has become popular to engage in criticism of the church. And by the way, every generation in the church criticizes the other. And while there are perspectives and attitudes that need to change, we need to be very careful. Impressions are being made on young hearts. Let’s hold each other accountable in making the needed changes in a positive and encouraging way.  Read More

On Sunday we will stress the importance of the church. God built it. Christ established it, and he also died for it. God has rescued us from the oppression, brutality, and slavery of Satan and sin. He is serious about bringing his people near to Him.  Read More

Christianity involves your whole life: mental, physical, emotional, and social. Instead of ignoring or talking down the opportunities to be together, we should be encouraging them more and more. Show me a Christian that is strongly connected with other Christians and I'll show you a Christian that is heading toward maturity.  Read More

What does it say about a person’s heart when they assume the worst? Does it reflect sinful attitudes of jealousy, anger, slander, bitterness, rivalry, and hostility?  Read More

This seems like such a challenge anymore. We are all so busy … and prayer can be one of the first things that slip away from us. We need to be intentional about scheduling God in. He is our lifeline. He is our strength. He is our Father. We need to let Him in on our life. Deeply rooted Christians are connected to God.  Read More

Our associations matter. Our matter of first preference should be to spend as much time as we can with other Christians. We need spiritual mentors and heroes in our life. That is, people who by proven decades of service and stability in Christ demonstrate themselves as someone whose faith should be followed. These are those that, when we get to be their age, we hope to possess some of their character traits and dispositions.  Read More

Well rooted Christians are confident. Living with constant feelings of guilt does not inspire confidence. Some Christians feel like they are the kid in the principal’s office. Discouragement and doubt are fostered at every failure. This is no way to live. God has called on us to trust in His promises, assurances, and encouragement. The Father, Son, and the Spirit are all working hard to get you to heaven.  Read More
