A local business owner told me he received a bogus $20 bill from a customer and did not realize it. It was discovered by a bank teller when he was making his daily deposit. When the bank showed him the fake bill next to a real one, he could not believe how little difference there was between the two. The color, shape, detail, and even fiber looked identical. The only difference was in texture, which the teller noticed right away because of her experience in handling real money.

If we are wise, we will realize there are many false doctrines in…

    It's fitting that as we close out 2021 with our theme of “Let Us Rise and Build” and kick off 2022 with the theme of “The Gospel is for All” we're discussing Barnabas.  When we are first introduced to Barnabas in Acts 4:36-37, we learn that Barnabas is not his real name but a nickname that means “son of encouragement.” This was a nickname given him by the apostles and one which he definitely lived up to.  Barnabas started by encouraging those around him and building them up, and then becoming a missionary in foreign fields.

When is the last time you prayed for your wife or thanked her for her devotion to the Lord? How about your daughter? Do you praise her often for her respect and commitment to you?
