Pastor Column-Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord
Having come through the elections in one piece, some of us are nonetheless a little worse for the wear.
Pastor Column-Don’t forget to put God first in your heart
We need reminders. We set alarm clocks to remind us of appointments. We ask family members to remind us of important events. We may put “sticky notes” in conspicuous places to jog our memories.

Pastor Column-In Christ, we all belong to the same family
When we are conceived, we have the DNA of our natural parents, which determines, among other things, what we look like.
Pastor Column-In Christ, we all belong to the same family
When we are conceived, we have the DNA of our natural parents which determines, among other things, what we look like. I have my father’s eye color and Native American skin. I get my height and nose from my mother. If you saw a photo of my parents, siblings and me, you’d say, “Oh, yeah, you can tell they’re related.”
Pastor Column-Keep the heart fires burning -- go to church
As the story goes, there was a member of a certain church who had been attending services regularly, but unexpectedly stopped.
Pastor Column-The blood of Jesus Christ is precious
One of life’s lessons we learn quickly is the importance of the blood that passes through our veins.
Pastor Column-The blood of Jesus Christ is precious
One of life’s lessons we learn quickly is the importance of the blood that passes through our veins. As a child, a simple bump or bruise quickly escalates to a major problem at the sight of blood. In a medical trauma, one of the first concerns for preserving life is to stop major bleeding. Our physical lives are dependent upon a normal flow of blood throughout our system. Without it, we simply cannot survive.
Pastor Column-It's God's kindness that leads to repentance
I have an internal struggle when I think about giving unconditional grace to the people around me.
Pastor Column-Jesus demonstrates what love really is
A line in a popular song of 1965 said, “What the world needs now is love, sweet love." A look at the headlines from around the world in the past couple of weeks serves as a reminder to this somewhat simplistic approach to world problems. Simplistic, perhaps. But at its heart, there is a message for each one of us. Our world, global and local, needs love.
Pastor Column-Christians have a duty as well as a right to vote
Some people get disgusted with political mud-slinging and shrill voices getting on their nerves during an election season, and decide to punish politicians by not voting. Christians sometimes ask, “If the Bible doesn’t instruct us on how to participate in our political process, why should we vote?”
Pastor Column-With Jesus, it's an adventure you win
Children have absolutely no problem being creative in everything, whether it is eating, putting on clothes or coming up with a fantastical world in which to play, invent and conquer.
Pastor Column-Dad wants to explain God to autistic son
Q: I have a son with autism. Many people with autism are concrete thinkers, who can’t understand abstract concepts (things they can’t feel, see, touch or experience directly). How do I explain God and heaven to my son? What happens to people with disabilities who don’t believe in God simply because they’re unable to understand? — S., via godsquadquestion@aol.com
Pastor Column-Why do we so often persist in unbelief?
What peace is there in the world today? What peace is there in your life? Know this: The peace that God gives is not the absence of conflict in the world. It is the soul’s rest upon absolute confidence in God, even amidst troubles.
Pastor Column-What does it mean, to be a Christian?
Who is and who is not a Christian? That seems to be a question of some interest these days, and it generates many, sometimes conflicting, answers.
