Lame Christians

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Think of a time when you sprained your ankle or tore a muscle. Suddenly, tasks you didn’t think about before now take tremendous effort and pain (e.g., crossing a room, going up a flight of stairs, getting in and out of a car). For some the Christian life seems to be as difficult. They make [...]

Bait and Switch #3—Worship

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

The last bait and switch we will look at in this series of articles is the switch made in God’s desired worship. This series could go on nearly forever but we will end it with this last topic. The primary reason most people attend church is to worship God. For some worship is a ceremonial [...]

We’ve decided on the theme for our VBS this year–The Great Sea Adventure. We are excited to have more time and more involvement in preparations than last year and expect it to be a great VBS. Please join us as we explore some of the great sea adventures in the Bible. It will run [...]

Bait and Switch #2—Church Organization

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

The second bait and switch we will look at in this series of articles is the switch made in God’s leadership of the church.

How to Eat Your Bible

Monday, April 14th, 2008

God has set a feast before us. Deuteronomy 8:3 tells us: “man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord.” God’s Word is a feast which will sustain and enrich us, but many do not seem to get any benefit from its study. [...]

Romans Class

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Last night, I finally got to start the class on Romans (it had been delayed for several weeks by various activities and traveling). I had been looking forward to teaching a class on Paul’s Epistle to the Romans for a while. Evidently, so had the church. A month ago I handed out slips of paper [...]

Bait and Switch #1–The Sinner’s Prayer

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

The first bait and switch we will look at in this series of articles is the switch made in God’s plan of salvation. Every church offers salvation, but many have removed God’s plan and inserted their own. One example of this is the Sinner’s Prayer.
The Sinner’s Prayer was popularized by Billy Graham in the 1950’s, [...]
