Multigenerational Singing
by Cory Messerschmidt on July 1st, 2022
It is clear from Scripture that we are to have a multigenerational mindset. As Asaph says in the instruction-oriented Psalm 78, “we will… tell to the generations to come the praises of Yahweh.” (v.4) As Proverbs 13:22 instructs us, “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.” And yet, as theologian Doug Wilson says, “Christians almost never think about their great-grandchildren.” Read More

Love is NOT Love: God is Love
by Kevin M. Leary on June 1st, 2022
Definitions matter! Words have mean- ing! But meaningful words can fall into a meaningless pit when we attempt to define that word by itself. Teachers for years have pro- claimed that you should not define a word us- ing that same word. Yet today, there are many who attempt to define a very meaningful word, “love,” in a very meaningless way, “love is love.” A closer look at the worldview of those that are promoting “love is love,” which is of- ten times publicly displayed using a six- colored rainbow, will lead you to a worldview where good is called evil, righteousness is called intolerance, and truth is relative.

by Kevin M. Leary on April 5th, 2022

For the Christian seeking to faithfully follow Christ, it is imperative, out of love for Christ and others, to proclaim the good news of the gospel.

Many promise to provide a new and innovative way of winning converts. Read More

King of the Jews
by Thomas Hamblen on February 1st, 2022
After which king are we modeling ourselves? Are we following the teachings and example of Herod’s greatness or Jesus’ true greatness?

Which king are we following? Read More
