I’m sure we all agree it would be unusual for any one of us to awake tomorrow, hop in the car and drive off with no destination in mind. It might even be a stranger occurrence for us to drop by the ticket counter at Hobby Airport and purchase a ticket for a flight to nowhere in particular, or climb aboard a ship at the Port of Houston headed to an unknown land, sailing along an unknown route. We would not take the above actions because we want to know where we are headed and how we are going…

Exodus 13:17 – 15:21

Although the Israelites could have left Egypt and taken a more direct route to eventually reach the promised land, they did not. The Lord took them in a direction that was indirect and probably appeared to be a “road to nowhere” But while the people may have thought they were going nowhere, God was taking them somewhere. He took them in a direction where: His power would be displayed (by the crossing at the Red Sea), they would not become afraid, turn around and go back, and where they would learn to rely on Him. He would…

            Solomon was the wisest man of his age.  When he was but a young man and had just ascended to the throne of his father, God appeared to him in Gibeon and said, “Ask what I shall give thee.”  Solomon, showing that he was a wise man even then, said, “Give me an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad...” (I Kings 3:1-ff).  God did according to His word and gave him the mind of minds, a wisdom far above all that were before…

Congruity is defined as "a point of agreement", togetherness, in accord, which can be in many relationships in this life, business, social, romantic or religious, the general meaning is the same.

Congruity is the agreement we have formed with each other, because of our commonality of thought.

As we assemble for worship, we have fellowship with all believers because of commonality with Jesus Christ, However we will not likely have congruity with some that we…

Solomon told us in Ecclesiastes 3:1 that there is a time for everything. There are times for transitions such as moving from the world of a dependent child to a responsible adult. Romans 12:1-2 & 1 Corinthians 6:11 describe the most important transition, from sinner to Christian. Christians remove sin and add Christ to their lives during this transition. There are many reasons for removing something and most are not painful. However, removing a name from a church directory can cause a hurt that brings tears and heartache. Remembering the smiling face of one who has passed away fills your…
