One of the most dangerous things a Christian can do right now is neglect Bible reading. An array of voices seek to convince us on how to think. My advice: more Scripture. Less social media. In January I decided to read the Bible thru in a year – using the chart we made available. In these […]
“The church may go through her dark ages, but Christ is with her in the midnight.” – Charles Spurgeon Though the church isn’t the focus in the book of Daniel, God was promising his people that he was not going to forsake them through some dark ages to come. For you and me, reading Daniel, most of […]
Happy July 4th weekend! While many today are trying to rewrite or erase history it is important we remember it. Yesterday we observed the 244th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Not all our founding fathers were Christians, many were deists. Yes, they held to a Judeo-Christian ethic; they had a respect for the Bible, […]
We’ve had a year of bad news but then on June 15 the US Supreme Court brought more bad news. In a 6-3 ruling, the court defined the legal definition of “sex” to include “sexual orientation and gender identity.” This decision will have far reaching religious consequences.

Technically each believer is the house of the Lord. God dwells in us. But the sentiment is ever-so true, especially today. […]

If the Lord be with us, we have no cause of fear. His eye is upon us, His arm over us, His ear open to our prayer – His grace sufficient, His promise unchangeable.” John Newton It’s not surprising those who don’t know Christ are terrified over the spread of COVID-19. The virus is known to […]
“Not having children in your church is a far more deafening sound than the noisiest child. Be thankful you have children in your church.” That was a post I read on Facebook recently. A friend of ours had an uncle from Germany visit their church in metro Detroit. He couldn’t get over all the children he […]
