A New Year Coming

December 30, 2023

2023 is almost over. Just a few more days to reflect on this past year. Every year has both joy and sorrow. Maybe this year there was a new birth in your family, or you had a promotion on your job or moved into a new house. Think of the joy that you had this past year.

Then there may have been sorrow, a death in the family that has left a huge hole in your heart, or maybe you lost your job or your house is foreclosed.

Contrasts in life is a normal thing for man. The good news is that there is a new year coming that is like a blank canvas. God will bring some blessings and He may allow some sorrow, but it is always exciting to look forward to the new year and know that God will direct our path if we trust Him.

Proverbs 3:6
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.

No Room for JESUS!

December 20, 2023

Joseph must have been frantically looking for a place to stay for the night. Mary was probably already in labor. She was young, it was her first child and she was going through the same pain in childbirth that every mother has when giving birth. Bethlehem was full of travelers. It was a small village with a very limited number of inns. Maybe only one, and the was no room. The innkeeper took pity on Joseph and Mary and allowed them room in his stable.

Most people look at the innkeeper as unfeeling but if you think about it he really did an act of kindness, plus scripture was being fulfilled.

If the innkeeper had known who was to be born in his stable, maybe he would have given up his own room for JESUS.

JESUS wants the best from us. Our gift to Him this Christmas should be giving Him every room in our heart.

Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

Black Friday! Looking For A Bargain?

November 24, 2023

For many years in the USA the day after Thanksgiving is called Black Friday. People are out looking for a bargain. A lot of shopping for Christmas presents.

We are tempted to overlook the true meaning of Christmas and turn it into a day to get and give gifts.

So today, shop if you must but it is a good thing to put Jesus first in your quest for that bargain.

Remember the greatest gift you can give is telling someone about Jesus. That costs absolutely nothing and it is the most lasting gift anyone could receive.

As every man hath received the gift, even sominister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 1 Peter 4:10

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Worship Music

November 12, 2023

This is a page from a church hymnal. Many churches today do not use hymnals anymore, they project the words on a screen. New technology is good as long as we don’t forget that music is to worship the King of kings and Lord of lords, Jesus.

Today when you go to church worship the Lord by singing from your heart.

Are the words you sing truly honoring Him or do they just make you feel good?

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:16

Church Is Important!

July 9, 2023

Church is important. Gathering together as a group of believers is important.

Encouragement from the Word and other believers is important. I’m not sure where you are today. Maybe you are tired…be renewed at church. Maybe you are depressed…be uplifted at church. Maybe you are discouraged by the church itself…be reconciled at church. Maybe you have lost your way…be directed at church. Church…

Christ died for it. It’s important. Be thankful. You have a choice of church today. Some people do not have a church they have a choice to attend. You do. Be thankful. Go to church. It’s important.

Memorial Day Weekend

May 27, 2023

John 15:13 ***Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.***

As America celebrates Memorial Day, we pay tribute to those who have given their lives in our nation’s wars.

This is not just a weekend to have a picnic or party with friends and relatives, but a time to remember we are free in America because of the men and women who have fought and some died to give us that freedom.

Take time in your busy schedule to pray for our troops and if you have someone in the service call, message or text them to thank them for there service.

John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

When Things Are Not Right!

May 18, 2023

What do you do when things don’t go right in your life?

Today if you look at our website, something is wrong. For some reason it is not looking like it is supposed to look. The heading is gone and it is a mess.

The problem is, we don’t know how to fix it. However, there are people who do have the knowledge to make it right. We will call them and the problem should be fixed soon.

In life we face problems, too. We don’t know how to fix them but we have a Heavenly Father who is waiting for us to call on Him. God is the only one who can fix a broken heart, take away sin, and give us peace in the time of trouble. Today, call on Him with any problem you have.
