Taking scripture out of context is exactly what the world wants. How many times have we quoted a verse  - trying to encourage ourselves or someone else - only to use it incorrectly?

In this new serie…

A random assortment of subjects, including a few listener questions, whether coffee should be allowed in the sanctuary, cats vs dogs, and tips on modeling prayer to your children. Monika and Eliazabe…

 We must rehearse the character of God in our minds constantly. We must think on his attributes. That is the good, holy, excellent things we should have our minds on. But it reeeeeeally helps if you …

Infertility is one of life’s greatest trials, and brings great sorrow to those who walk that road. When we remember that God is perfectly sovereign over all things, we can find peace in blaming God -…

Wisdom is an attribute of God.  Because we want to cultivate wisdom in our homes, the Word of God must be central there. We strive to keep wisdom before our own eyes - but what about our children? Ha…

Freedom! But freedom for what? Freedom to bring glory to God and benefit others? Or freedom to do as you please, under the guise of Christian Liberty.

Sanctification is becoming more like Christ, but it isn’t something we can do on our own.  We are sinners by nature, so sanctification starts with humility. We must have a heart that longs to obey Go…

The pastors who scribble down a sermon on a napkin, should toss that sucker where it belongs: in the trash. The teaching on Sunday is our first line of discipleship, which means the church you attend…
