It's tough to go through life without worrying. I'm just as guilty as the next person. But, it's not time well spent. It's a control issue, isn't it? If we can only trust in the Lord that we say we believe in, we could find that peace that passes all understanding. But we let doubt …
Being Of One Mind
As members of the church, we should be of one mind. Focused on sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. But it's not easy to keep our focus there because there are so many other things that distract us. We become divided on things that don't really matter in the great scheme of things. Do we …
What Prize Are You Reaching For?
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Image by 3D Animation Production Company from Pixabay I'm tired of the same old, tired, worn out topics on TV. I don't watch the news any more. I get tired of the mudslinging that goes on during …
Press On
No matter how long we've been a Christian, we never get to a point we don't need God. We should always be striving to be more like Jesus and the example he set for us. Always talking to our Creator and leaning into his will can help to keep us on the right path. I …

Let's examine what the heart of a servant of Christ looks like. Image by Photo Mix from Pixabay We aren't born with a servant's heart. When a baby is born, it's every need must be attended to, now! So how do we create a servant's heart? First of all let's take a look at the …
Share Your Light
Share your light with the world as you walk among the world, not from a distance where they can barely see you. Image by dawnydawny from Pixabay.

How To Fix Everything
Bible and coffee. Image by mnplatypus from Pixabay Living in a time when we are all looking out for ourselves and just trying to get through tough times tends to turn people inward and we become self focused.

Worthy
Our Sunday morning service normally starts with music as we begin our worship service. But in this morning, there was no music, no singing. I am in the praise band and I choose to use music in my personal worship time. But as our pastor, Jon Porter, pointed out this morning, music or singing are …
