What will the Farmer find in your field? He sent the rain. It fell on your head and soaked your shoes. It softened the ground around your heart. What’s growing? Fruit or thorns?   Hebrews 6:4-8 The clock above the sanctuary door was running fast again. It always did on Sunday nights. A moth tapped... Continue Reading

Gentlemen, remember that you bear a unique responsibility and calling to lead your families in all manner of things, one of which is leading them in keeping the Sabbath holy. As husbands, fathers, and heads of households, you set the spiritual tone in your households. If you have been neglecting the Lord’s Day with your... Continue Reading

Christians need to learn how to distinguish the categories of right-wrong and wise-unwise. Learning the distinction will help us avoid labeling something as wrong when it is simply unwise (from the perspective of the evaluator).   How many times have I heard someone say, “That’s just wrong!” when the action being discussed isn’t wrong in...

We look, in other words, back to the cross as the great act of redemption that makes us what we are. But we look forward to the final return of Jesus to complete God’s plan for history.   Mostly, when we think of time in relation to our church meetings, we think of the time... Continue Reading

It is nearly always... Continue Reading
