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…

Update on Services

03/27/2020

The elders of the StoneRidge church of Christ are continuing to monitor the coronavirus COVID-19 situation closely. It has been decided the wisest course of action is to cancel services at the building and continue live streaming services at least through 4/12/2020.

Our initial efforts at live streaming the service were successful and well received.  The service was uplifting and the lesson both timely and beneficial. We appreciate those…

Winston Churchill, British prime minister during the Second World War, was serving in his second term when he celebrated his 80th birthday. Graham Sutherland was contracted to do a portrait to honor the famous statesman, and the painting was unveiled in a public ceremony. Churchill detested the portrait, and it was never hung in the Parliament building as originally intended. After he died, his widow destroyed the painting out of respect for her husband, an act that the artist considered to be vandalism.

It is not difficult to imagine the pride or even vanity of a man whose name appears on…

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…

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…

We Live in Interesting Times

The elders of the Stoneridge church of Christ have been monitoring the coronavirus CoVid-19 situation closely and have been considering the impacts on our congregation. After much discussion and consideration of all the information we have available to us, we have decided that it would be most prudent to cancel services at the building for the next 2 weeks. The situation will be reevaluated at that time.

However, this does not mean that we have no…
