“Did you see the latest school shooting? My grandson just started middle-school and it scares me to death. How do we stop this stuff? What’s the answer?” This was the conversation a retired army veteran and proud grandfather wanted to have with me after hearing that I was a part-time teacher. It only took about […]
It was a Saturday morning this past summer. I had just put on my running gear for a three and a half mile run and stepped out the front door, when I saw them – a grown man, a middle school-ish aged young man, and a young girl. They were all dressed nicely, and they […]
What if someone told you that in evaluating your life, the missing ingredient was love? Would that be tough to hear? Would it be tough to admit? Would it be tough to wrestle with? Well, the words of Scripture, in this case, would offer you little comfort, as a succinct paraphrase of I Corinthians 13:1-3 […]
Something happens when men study God’s Word together! That was the thought that gripped my heart when I saw more than 50 men gather at Friendship last Monday night. They were present for an informational meeting about the first-ever weeknight men’s Bible study in our church. We know that there is power in united prayer. […]

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 Whether […]
Prayer is communicating with God. In its simplest definition, prayer is talking to God. I would say that prayer is talking to God about what is important to God and what is important to me. Prayer is where we invite God into our everyday lives. People talk about having a “personal relationship with God”; I don’t think that a person can say that without a consistent prayer life.
One of my favorite services since I was a youngster (and that’s a loooong time ago) is the Easter Sunrise service. Not every church where we’ve ministered or attended has had this service, and we’ve also seen variety in the way it is conducted. While getting up extra early is not the part I enjoy […]
No doubt many of you did as I did last Friday afternoon and watched the livestreaming of the funeral service for Evangelist Billy Graham, who just passed at the age of 99. He was known for decades as “America’s Pastor.” Thousands came to Christ through his preaching and writings – including some in our church. […]
