Cast Out The Net
Very early in life (almost from birth) we are trained to be successful according to the world’s definition of success. We are driven by goals and accomplishments from the day we take our first steps and ride our first bike. As we grow older, we are pressured to accumulate knowledge and “things” in order to […]
It is Written
The Bible is a precious gift; a gift we call, The Word of God. The words of the Bible tell of the creation of the Universe and God’s first “breath of life” into man (Genesis 2:7). They tell of man’s first sin, his separation from God, and the long process of being brought back into […]
Here am I – Send Me

Too Much of Us
Gideon lived during a time when Israel was ruled by judges. This was the period after the death of Joshua and before Saul was anointed king – a period lasting approximately 325 years.

Evidence of God
There are many people who remain just outside the gate of eternal life. They have heard the gospel message but are still not convinced of its absolute truth. They may concede that religion is “good,” but they need much more evidence before being willing or able to commit their life. Many of us in the […]
He is Our Joy
When Jesus came to earth, He took on human form and accepted many human limitations. He knew His purpose long before He was crucified: “He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that He […]
This is The Way, Walk in It
God’s desire is that we walk down the path He lays before us. This path begins with the gift of eternal life through faith in Jesus; “For My Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life” (John 6:40). The path continues with living a life […]
