LOST, Part 2: The Downward Spiral of Man
We continue to week 2 of our new series: “Lost.” While claiming to being “open-minded” we actually are quite closed-minded, only hearing what we want to hear, only believing what we want to believe. Instead of being driven by rationality, we are driven by our passions and desires–for either lesser things, or wrong things. This has…
God Sings and Rejoices
The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing. God calls upon His people to sing and rejoice, then He sings and rejoices over them. Stop and…
The Narrow Road
My first twenty years I walked the road broad Until empty, longing, I came to know God. Forty-nine years since; on God’s path I have trod. Different kinds of terrain I’ve walked on this Earth’s sod. Hovering jungle growth, fear and danger abound Amidst the stark unknown ‘twas once lost; now I’m found. On…
MATURITY

New Year’s Resolutions
Much has been said and written about New Year’s Resolutions. Some people laud them and suggest that if you don’t set any goals, you don’t have anything to shoot for in terms of personal growth. Others believe that we all set far too lofty a set of goals, and that we don’t even have a…
Advent 2021
Hope Jesus called himself the Light of the World, and at Advent, we light candles to remind ourselves of the light of hope he brought into a world filled with the darkness of sin. What is hope? Hope is looking forward to something wonderful. It’s expecting something good to happen. It’s light in the darkness.…
Making the Holidays Meaningful + Advent Resources
A couple weeks ago, we started teaching the Christmas lessons to the kids at church. When doing the advent wreath, Kennedy and I talked about how cool it was that we get to celebrate Jesus’ birthday for a whole month! How cool would it be if WE could have a birthday month rather than a birthday…
