With so much emphasis placed on our own personal attendance to services and Bible classes, you would think that there would be more verses or even entire books written on the subject. In fact, there is only one, found in Hebrews 10:25: “…Not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but …

Jesus had two main missions when He was born into this world: (1) Offer Himself up as a sacrifice for sin, and (2) teach His disciples the ordinances of the New Covenant. With only a little over three years in His ministry to accomplish these two items, one would think that He would seize any …

How many times have you heard a baby cry in a public place? Probably a lot more than you can remember. They kick and scream,  sometimes they throw things, maybe empty a box of cereal on their head – it’s a pretty interesting scene if you happen to be just standing there watching it. And …

Job was innocent. Job was persecuted. Poor Job. Woe is Job. I’ve heard all the excuses about Job before, and I’m just not buying it.

History was a big part in the life of a Jew. It was a source of pride, a standard of their life, and a reminder of past deeds, whether they be good or bad. Sometimes, in the case of Stephen in Acts 7, it was a measure of criticism based on the patterns they followed …

Greg is a likable guy. He is a standup member of the community, takes an active part in worship services, and goes out of his way to make visitors feel welcome. Whenever someone needs a little extra help with their yard work, Greg is always there to lend a hand. He has, on more than …

Dear Younger Members, You are right, it is especially hard to be a Christian in these times. Allow me to share some insight into the future: it will be hard when you are older, too. The only solace I can offer is that with time comes experience and knowledge, and these two allies will be …

Dear Older Members,             I want to thank you for the example that you set, day in and day out. It is encouraging to have such a strong role model in my daily life that I can look to for guidance. When I see how you handle difficulties and the different trials and temptations in …
