The Good Confession
Many a frontier preacher has shaken the pines with the resounding question, “Have you made the good confession?” It was a sermon I heard many times as a child and it remains a great question. Most of those sermons ended with an examination of Acts 8:37 from the King James Version of the Bible. It… Read More »
Strawberry Pie
It’s no secret I love fruit related desserts. Peach cobbler, key lime pie, banana pudding, and blackberry cobbler all make my heart (or actually my stomach) pitter-patter with delight. But the fruit I learned to favor more than all others, is my mom’s strawberry pie. I believe I could eat an entire pie in one… Read More »

Jesus told his disciples those who would believe in and live by his teaching would, “know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”-John 8:31-32. I wonder about the men and women who hunger and thirst after righteousness (Matthew 5:6) in our day and time. When they look around at what is offered as… Read More »
What Will You Do With Jesus?
It’s a simple question some people find difficult to answer. Will you believe he is the Christ, the Son of the living God? Peter confessed he believed just that in Matthew 16:16. It is the bedrock of our faith. The answer to the question you give will determine your eternal fate. “for unless you believe… Read More »
Toward a More Uplifting Worship
How many of us know when we will be serving the congregation before we arrive for services? I would imagine there is a great variety of preparedness.
