    When we come to Christ, we are called to "go public" with that comittment.

    “You are the Church” What do you think about the church? A preacher was wired for sound with a lapel mike, and as he preached, he moved briskly about the platform, jerking the mike cord as he went. Then he moved to one side, getting wound up in the cord and nearly tripping before jerking it ...read more

    The "holy kiss" was a common way to show love and acceptance in the early church. What was that "kiss" intended to accomplish for God and how can we (who often don’t do that) accomplish the same goals?

    OPEN: For the next 4 weeks, we’re going to be looking at what the Bible says about kissing (pause). You know, the Bible is just FULL of kissing. There are stories where sons kiss their fathers. Friends kissing friends/ brothers kissing brothers. People kissing false idols. Kissing between a woman ...read more

    We are called to mark them who cause divisions. How much more so those who teach doctrinal error?

    Titus 3:10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. A heretic after the first or second admonition you reject or have nothing to do with, not keep supporting their ministries. ...read more

    HUGGING IS THE ANSWER! Perhaps I feel this way because my wife is affectionately known as "The Happy Hugger." If it’s moving she’ll stop it and hug it, and if it’s not moving she’ll dust it off and sell it! However, there’s another reason I believe hugging is the answer. According to Greg ...read more
