Don't Chase the Snake
Terribly painful, shocking misfortune happens to us all. Sometimes others wrong us (Mt. 5:44). Sometimes we suffer for our faith (II Tim.3:12). Sometimes we suffer the consequences (I Pt. 4:15). Sometimes it is time and chance (Ecc. 9:11). No matter the reason, we are always left with the same choice – what do…

CLOSED.
You woke up this morning to a new normal. Schools closed. Restaurant dining rooms closed. Public events closed. Life as we know it: CLOSED.
Yesterday, the CDC announced recommendations of no gatherings of more than 50. That affects everything (weddings, funerals, church assemblies) and everyone. It will have a huge economic impact -on all of us.
Health care professionals know the crisis is real and worse than most of us think. The older population is especially at high risk and the risk is real. In countries like Italy, citizens are confined to home by…

During our recent study of I Samuel, we noticed how Eli’s sons did not know the Lord (2:12). We also saw that Samuel’s sons, Joel and Abijah, did not walk in their father’s way (8:3). The question then becomes why? Were Eli and Samuel not the father they ought to be? Were they raised right and yet still not faithful to the Lord? What caused them to stray from God?
These questions are very similar questions we see today. When you look at couples who are very strong and faithful to God, yet their children are not, we begin to wonder what happened to cause them…

The Bible begins with these words, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” There are many people in the world who do not believe that statement. Some say God does not exist, and therefore, the Bible cannot be His Word. Some may even argue that the Bible is not scientifically accurate and therefore has no merit. However, whenever the Bible makes a statement relating to a scientific principle, it is completely accurate. Let us notice some examples of the harmony between science and the Bible.

Matthew 7:24-27 says, “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. Now everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it…

Peter urged the church to stand firm in his first letter and he does so again in the second. This is the theme of II Peter; to stand firm by growing and not departing from sound teachings. Within this theme, Peter offers several reminders:
- Godly living is the evidence of salvation. If Christians really believe what they say they believe, they will display moral excellence, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, kindness, and love. II Peter 1:3
- Scriptural truth and prophecy are only from God. The teachings Peter and the apostles passed on weren't something they invented; they were eyewitnesses…
