B It’s hard to believe that I recently turned 35 years old this past week. As a matter of fact, everyone who knows me believes this is simply impossible! Well, the fact of the matter I did turn 35 years old just a few days ago. On February 27, 1983 I was baptized into Christ, […]
From the Pulpit: A Fountain or a Drain?
March 8, 2018 By
This past week during my travels for work I read a church sign that was extremely thought provoking. It simply read, “Be a fountain, not a drain.” Truly, as Christians we ought to be a fountain to others. We ought to be a fountain of love, encouragement, praise, honor, help, joy, and everything else that […]
From the Pulpit: Growing in Grace
February 22, 2018 By
I spoke to a sister in Christ by phone recently, and she made a very candid admission to me. She stated that until recently she felt selfish in her faith because she knew she had been richly blessed by God and yet had not shared those blessings with others nearly as much as she should […]
From the Pulpit: Effective Outreach
February 15, 2018 By
As Christians, we want to do our best in teaching the saving gospel message of Jesus to those who have not yet learned the truth. Because this is so, the question that needs to be answered then is, “What can we do to be most effective in reaching out to others with the truth of […]
From the Pulpit: Meditating Upon the Word of God
February 8, 2018 By
Meditating upon the word of God is a powerful tool we can use to deepen and strengthen our relationship with the Lord. God’s leader Joshua was told by God Himself just how powerful this practice can be. Joshua (1:8,9) says, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate […]
From the Pulpit: With Her
February 1, 2018 By
Isn’t it amazing how it is possible to read the same story multiple times and yet miss an important detail? This was true for me when I recently reread in Genesis (3) the story of how sin entered the world. I always pictured in my mind Eve as the one who was chiefly responsible for […]
From the Pulpit: Here Comes the Snow
January 25, 2018 By
Snow it is so very pretty when it falls, but we all know the havoc that snow can cause. Where there is snow, people fall and hurt themselves, individuals have auto accidents, and then there is the shoveling! Now even though I am not a fan of snow, there is one aspect of snow that […]
From the Pulpit: Do Not Forget
December 28, 2017 By
I am amazed at how many verses of Scripture there are we have undoubtedly read but have failed to slow down long enough to dwell on the profundity of their meaning. One such verse of Scripture is Hebrews (13:6). This verse reads, “But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such […]
From the Pulpit: More Blessed to Give
December 21, 2017 By
In my current occupation, I have the privilege of traveling throughout the Midwest, Southeast, and East to receive donations given to the children’s home for which I work. It is a very rewarding work for me, and the children I represent are truly blessed by the generosity of my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. […]
From the Pulpit: Before It Is Too Late
December 7, 2017 By
Jesus sets forth a very sobering and sad teaching about those who never get around to entering into the kingdom of God. In Luke (13:24) and following Jesus says, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the Master […]
