Covetousness

Posted on November 30, 2015 by Doug

Today is cyber Monday. Last Friday was black Friday. As a Christian are you caught up in the mad rush to acquire new things at “deeply discounted” prices that these two days involve? You shouldn’t be. I can see it if you need a new TV or some other expensive item, but in general we should stay away from the mad rush to acquire whatever we can at any price. Continue reading →

Thanksgiving

Posted on November 24, 2015 by Doug

Thursday this week is the day set aside in this country when families all get together and enjoy football and a feast, plus hopefully remember to thank God for all the blessings of the past year and the year to come. While all of us are enjoying the company of our families and friends, let’s remember those in the world who may not be as fortunate as us and are away from home or otherwise separated from friends and family on this family holiday. Let’s say a prayer for them and wish them peace and safety wherever they may be.

The passage is telling us to live in peace as brethren within the church, but note it states that God is the God of love and peace. If God is the God of love and peace, why is there so much turmoil and war in the world today. Obviously, the reason is that most of the world does not serve God or even acknowledge His supremacy so in their godless ways they find hatred and war and turmoil instead of the peace that is of God.

Who is Jesus?

Posted on November 18, 2015 by Doug

Jesus is more things than I can say in one short post. He is everything to all who believe in Him. He came to this earth from heaven and was born of a virgin to seek and save that which was lost (Luke 19:10). He came to save souls that were lost in sin and to make a way whereby they may be saved from their sins. He is our prophet, priest and king,  as head of the church. All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him by God (Matthew 28:18). He is the ruler of all creation.
