Passion for God

by Brad

When you think of someone who is passionate what comes to mind? Possibly someone dressed in their favorite team colors, holding a huge sign, yelling at the top of their lungs, “GO TEAM!” However, to be zealous for good works looks completely different. Zeal for good works is a picture of someone who is enthusiastic […]

It’s exciting to see the kids so ready for summer break. The opportunity to sleep in is always a winner for most of those teenagers looking to get caught up on rest. However, the summer offers much more than late nights and 11:00 am alarms. There will be opportunity to get involved with some great […]

Love Changes Everything

by Brad

We’ve all been there. Nerves are frayed and patience stretched to the limit. Someone says something a bit out turn, and we explode. We stop listening and start thinking of a rapid response, one that will cut deep. Convinced revenge will be worth the effort, we let loose our counterattack. Love changes everything, and Christ’s […]

Rise Up through Prayer!

by Brad

I have a lot to say about what’s going on in our country concerning all the divisions. People at odds with the president because he doesn’t always choose to make the most political statement, kneeling at the sound of the national anthem, and etc. It is heart breaking to see such disunity and even participating […]

Knowing God

by Brad

There is no one like our God! Nothing and no one compares to Him! And, only He can truly satisfy the thirsty soul! Yet in our culture, these are not self-evident truths. Why?

What is Happening with God’s Bride?

by Brad

Have you become complacent and or lost interest in church? I ask because God’s Church, His people, doesn’t seem to be paying very close attention to what He has to say about His Bride (She is forgiven, sanctified, powerful, and loved)! Hear me out before you begin bashing the preacher! Statistics show that as many […]

Good Work?

by Brad

A construction company in Detroit has as their motto, “We do good work.” It’s a catchy phrase that grabs your attention. The company uses the slogan on the radio and with television adds which has given them great success. That makes me wonder, do I do good work, does the church do good work, and […]

After Easter

by Brad

Resurrection Sunday was phenomenal! I hope you enjoyed seeing the church packed. How wonderful would it be if that could be the case every week? Well, it can, we just have to get busy inviting! I think God uses spring in a way that stirs people spiritually, and we should be there to remind them […]

He Lives

by Brad

Up from the grave He arose…that will be our mantra this Easter Sunday. Really, that is our hymn every day! Or at least it should be! Consider this; of all the people of the earth, a very small percent will actually celebrate the resurrection of Jesus as Savior. Yet God has placed the Church (all […]
