Stand for the Truth
on April 19th, 2025
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, (2 Timothy 3:16) When we live in a culture that has decided to go by its playbook, rather than God's plan, we find ourselves upside down. Unfortunately, we think we are right-side-up. Our children and grandchildren are being inoculated by our culture and our media, with everything that i... Read More

It Is Finished
on April 18th, 2025
Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. (John 19:28-30) The... Read More

Conversion and Conversation

(Romans 10:9-10) There are two things that need to be true of your life in order to truly know the Lord. The first is that you must have a... Read More

Pray to Jesus

Obeying the Word of God
on April 13th, 2025
"Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me."—John 14:21As His children, we are called to align our lives with the Word of God.

Maybe you've given your life to Christ, but you haven't taken that next step of obedience—baptism.Now, baptism itself doesn’t save you. It... Read More

A Ripple Effect
on April 10th, 2025
He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. (Mark 16:15) Yesterday, we talked about the story of D.L. Moody and how he came to know Christ. While his salvation story is one of my favorites, the story doesn’t end where we left off yesterday. In fact, that was just the beginning, for D.L. Moody’s story is proof that you never know the ripple effect your obedience ... Read More

A Lifetime Of Surrender
on April 9th, 2025
And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.” – Luke 9:23-24 Yesterday I told my story of saying “yes” to God.
