Should we cancel church? I worked as a janitor at a church for 18 years. One of my duties was snow removal, putting out icy melt and making sure folks could get in the building safely.

Standing On Faith
What does it mean to wait on God? There’s a verse in Isaiah that people like to quote. “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”—Isa. 40:31 Tough times comeContinue reading “Standing On Faith”

(2 Timothy 2:15) What does that mean? Well, every word in scripture has meaning. They can often be linked to otherContinue reading “Serving God”
Let The Light Shine In
What is Christmas? Christmas is a time for cheer. A time when we slow down and remember the things that matter most. It’s a time when we celebrate the birth of a King. The birth of a savior. Jesus Christ our Lord. As has been pointed out many times, December is not the actual dateContinue reading “Let The Light Shine In”
The Sign of Christ In You
Are you sure you know Him? The sign of Christ in you is not that you work to quit sinning. It’s not that you pretend to be sinless, and go to your church every time the doors are open. The sign is that you confess that Jesus came in the flesh, and confess Him asContinue reading “The Sign of Christ In You”
