I have found that many times we will see family after family come into your church home and seem very happy and content, then you never see them again.  What is happening to families today and why is everything else taking a priority in their life, except for the church.  Social medai shows us that many just rather be some place else other then church.

I have heard many say that Sunday's is time for them to spend with their family and that God wants them to make family first.  I…

There is much going on in our world. The Church stands challenged every day as wars and conflicts escalate and the influence of Christianity seemingly diminishes. So we look at the events of our human saga and respond to them. The question is “How?” This is especially important when we see those who try to read their own philosophies into the teaching a Scriptures. This spiritual warfare is intensifying almost daily.  Our society tells us that we must compromise and leave…

The United States of America had a recent Supreme Court ruling on same sex marriage on Friday, June 26th.  The court voted that all 50 US states and territories are required to recognize marriages between same-sex couples by permitting them to obtain a marriage license.

The primacy of the WORD of God was evident and remained the sustaining anchor that kept… Continue

If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. (Matt 4:3)



Those who blessed the world in all times, lived for something much more than what the average man lives for. They were truly in the world, but not of the world in their values and perspective. 



Before Jesus actually began his earthly ministry, he was tested by the devil to turn the grace of God in his life, meant to save mankind into something for…

Even if all biblical interpreters conscientiously used a consistent hermeneutical system, there would still be a variety of opinions because of the differences among the interpreters' abilities and backgrounds. Such differences are inevitable and must be accepted, but four characteristics are required of a student of the Bible who would 'accurately divide the word of truth.…
