Beatitudes-Blessed are the Meek
“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” (Matt. 5:5) Our world loves physical strength, political power, social influence, and monetary might. It is a world defined by clichés – “might makes right,” “survival of the fittest,” “dog eat dog,” “every man for himself,” etc. More>>

A Perfect Life
What is a perfect life? When I say "a perfect life,” I mean a life that is ideal. I mean a life that is flawless. I mean a life that is just exactly what one would want it to be. I realize that no one has a perfect life in every sense, but I wonder if we would recognize a perfect life if we saw it. More>>

Androgeny

Assembly Required?
"Do I have to come every time the church has an assembly?" This question has been asked many times by many people through the years. It has also been answered by many.

Calvinism
Calvinism is a complex doctrine that is often summarized with the acronym TULIP: Total depravity, Unconditional election, Limited atonement, Irresistible grace, Perseverance of the saints.

Dead Silent
When we attend a funeral, the cold finality of death is realized as we cast our eyes upon the deceased. Before us we see the earthly remains of one who was once alive and thriving but now lies motionless and silent. More>>



Dealing With Sin
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23). All accountable people have been guilty of sin in their lives, so we all must deal with it in some way. How we choose to deal with our sin will have eternal consequences, so we must be sure to handle it correctly. More>>
