Letter From the Pastor – July 12, 2020

          So what do you think God’s intentions for families might be?  What part does God mean families to play in human life?  Only when we understand what God has revealed about the family can we hope to find solutions to the problems families face today.           The clearest statement of God’s plan for the family is the one that comes right at the beginning of the Bible in the account of the creation of the human person.  We often miss the point of this wonderful account.  Living as we do in a highly individualistic society, […]

Letter From the Pastor – July 5, 2020

           Saturday is the 4th of July, a date of historical significance because it marks the birth of our nation. It was on that day in 1776 that representatives of the thirteen colonies signed a document declaring themselves to be a free and independent nation. Most of us are familiar with the contents of that document. We, of course, know it as “The Declaration of Independence”.

Letter From the Pastor – June 14, 2020

The world today is again in desperate need of a spiritual awakening.  It is the only hope for the survival of the human race. In the midst of the vast problems which face our world, Christians are strangely silent and powerless, almost overwhelmed by the tide of secularism.  And yet, Christians are called to be “the salt of the earth”, keeping a decaying world from further corruption.  Christians are to be “the light of the world”, illuminating the darkness caused by sin and giving guidance to a world that has lost its way.  We are called to be “children of […]
