    –> Greetings all, Have you ever watched an arrow in flight? Most of us, if only in our youth at summer camp, have launched arrows or observed others doing so. It is not as easy as it looks to get one to strike the target dead center. When it does happen, it’s awesome. An avid…

    –> Greetings, We can observe some interesting parallels between how Satan works in the world in general and the tactics he uses to try and destroy God’s Church.

    –> Greetings, The “frog in the water” analogy is well-known to most of us. It is a picturesque myth highlighting the fact that many simply don’t see the change happening around them.

    –> Ambiguity is one of our greatest challenges because, as a rule, we like structure, routine, and the ability to know what’s coming next.

    –> Rwanda/Madagascar Trip – March 2017 Last week I returned safely home from a profitable 9-day trip to Rwanda and Madagascar. I found the brethren in Rwanda in good spirits and doing well.

    –> Hello Everyone, The most common name used for God in the Hebrew scriptures is Yahweh (YHWH). It is translated in Exodus 3:14 as “I AM”. It is the word translated “Lord” throughout the King James Version of the Bible. We all know it well. We traditionally replace “Lord” with “the Eternal” when reading scripture…

    –> Greetings, Who among us would have guessed that God would allow His Church to become as fractured and scattered as it is today? Or that the chain of events in our own personal lives would ever be as unpredictable as it sometimes is, given the various trials we go through? But as with Israel…

    –> Greetings, As we begin each new day, do we do so with a sense of purpose? And by purpose, I mean godly purpose. What are our goals as we engage another day of life? Here are some thoughts and ideas to consider: • What can we do to help and serve the needs of…

    –> Greetings, Who would have ever thought that the subject of work would become a controversial one? Surely work is as basic to human existence as eating and sleeping?

    –> Greetings, If God informs us that He hates something, we should take careful note. We are told that two of the seven things God hates are: “A false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren” (Proverbs 6:19). Sowing discord could be regarded as a summation of the previous six things…
