I noticed a game online called "spent" which is a text based game to help kids see what it is like to try and balance funds when a person is poor. It gives the person a budget and they have to manage it through all sorts of different situations. I thought it might be an eye opener for some...
President Trump made statements during a recent press conference that his authority is "total" to open the government back up. This includes authority over and above all of the state governors. "And that's the way its got to be." he stated...

"Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars. 2 He was holding a little scroll, which lay open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot...
Most of the churches including the one I go to is closed tomorrow due to the pandemic. I was wondering how do that change what you do to nurture your own spiritual growth? Are you watching sermons online or doing Bible studies on your own or something else? Is this a change for you or were...
With all the scary and awful news going on I wanted to share 8 things I am grateful for to encourage you from God's Word. I posted this on facebook and wanted to share with you. What truths in God's Word are you grateful for?
8 Truths from the Bible to encourage you.
1. God loves you and sent...
I've read two books this year by pastor Timothy Keller. He is a Presbyterian minister who founded a church in New York called Redeemer Presbyterian. I wonder if you have any thoughts about him? I am finishing today his book "Encounters with Jesus" which has been edifying and encouraging.

this is very sad that a total of 9 people have died including Kobe Bryant and his 13 year old daughter today in a helicopter crash

I've been a believer since 1983. I spent the first few years of my Christian faith reading the Bible daily and spent a lot of time studying the Word. I had a hunger for God's word even as a teenager. I can remember taking my bible to school as a high schooler so I could read during free time...
I have been attending a church since November and am now thinking about joining. I can say that I feel more a part of this church than I have in the last two that I have been a part of, but part of me thinks I have only been attending for two months and that this isn't long enough before...
I've used this site for a couple of years and have enjoyed it, but feel like it is time for me to move on and pursue more involvement within the church I attend. I also feel like we often get into meaningless debate about minor theological points and I don't think that is a good way to spend my...
I am reading through the book of Judges right now. It is always amazing to me when I read it what a bloody book it is with lots of death and war and bad decisions. The book records a judge by the name of Jephthat who lived before Samson in Judges 11. He makes a vow that the whatever comes out...
I am reading Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby and Claude King and they said something on page 76 that I don't think I have heard before and wanted to share with you.
they quote 1 Corinthians 12:7 "A manifestation of the Spirit is given to each person to produce what is beneficial."
The author...
Galatians 5:22-23 says
22 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
Paul said that these things are evidence of fruit of the Spirit, yet unbelievers can sometimes display...
I am curious if any of you have used either personally or in the churches you attend the "Experiencing God" material by Henry Blackaby and Claude King?
I went through it first about 25 years ago and thought it was really profound. One of Henry's sons was in my Sunday School class when I was in...
The church I have recently started attending has about 130 or so in worship and averaging about 55 or so in Sunday School. Recenty there was a short survey in the bulletin about what could be done to change the Sunday School to get more people involved. I am not sure what the problem is in...
In a few months the Democrats will have their first primaries and some people will be dropping out of the race for President as the choice narrows. One really big decision that the nominee has to make is who to pick for a running mate as VP. How big of a deal to you is this really and would it...
What do you think of this trend of churches have multiple sites? I know of one church in our area that has sites in four locations. When it comes time for the sermon they will show the main pastor who is on a big screen preaching at the main location. Otherwise, the other sites might have...
4 "You adulterous people,don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us...
18 "This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.” 3 So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. 4 But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed...
