The city had just been defeated by Abimelech and his troops; the remaining citizens, men and women, gathered in the city watchtower, seeking refuge from Abimelech and his warriors. The army surrounded the tower and was positioned to burn it and destroy all its fear-stricken residents. A woman…

The term "procrastinate" is defined: "to put off doing something until a future time" - "to defer, postpone." And of course, the word "consequences" simply means that which follows or results from a certain course or action.

“The road to hell is paved with good intentions,” someone has said. One of the easiest things to do is to plan and promise to do what is right and good, but when the time comes to fulfill the plan, something always happens, and we do not get it done. Almost everyone intends to do right, straighten up and repent before he dies, but…

    I used to wonder how VBS got its name: Vacation Bible School.  Having completed our 8th annual event, I’ve got a good idea now.  When it’s over, you need a vacation!

    Our 2022 VBS on “Share the Gospel” was a tremendous success for many reasons.  First, the numbers speak for themselves.  The attendance count was 165, 201 (new record), 179, and 179.  There was considerable interest and enthusiasm all week long.  Our people are to be commended for their support and for making certain their children and grandchildren were here.

“…a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all” (Colossians 3:11).

We have been born again as the Lord said we must be:

Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born…

Unfortunately, there are frequent examples of Christians ‘liking’ things that should repulse them. For example:

• Someone posts an inappropriate picture of themself in…

    First, it’s not as easy as it looks. It only looks easy when you’re on the outside looking in—like when you don’t have any! Something amazing happens when a child turns 13 as 7 years of brain-freeze sets in. It can be a creative time of fun and laughter, or it can be over-the-top challenging (probably some of both). And you thought toddlers were tough...

1. Trust but verify. You have the right as a parent to know where they are, who they are with, where they are going, and when they’ll be home. You don’t stop parenting when your…
