Martin Wiles’ Lessons for Children: Jesus Wants Me to Love and Help Others
Martin Wiles’ Lessons for Youth and Children Scripture Reference: The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” -Mark 12:31 Related Scripture Reference: Luke 16:19-31 19 “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21 who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. Moreover,
Is God Involved in the Coronavirus Pandemic?
This current pandemic raises all kinds of questions about God: his will, his sovereignty, and his character. Did God cause it, did he merely allow it, or is it just pure evil, nothing but an attack of Satan in which God was, and is, entirely uninvolved? Well, I’ve heard all three explanations. These questions go right to the heart of the Bible’s presentation of God. How we answer them will show whether or not our thinking is in line with Scripture. First,

Know God? No Fear! Facing A Pandemic with Faith
These are extraordinary times. The Coronavirus pandemic is about the only thing being talked about or reported in the news. No more stories of conspiracies or political correctness. No, these things are not preoccupying the minds of many. People around the world are watching daily updates about this horrendous disease and taking the most extreme steps to avoid it, and much of the world is in lockdown because of it. But we have yet to see its full impact. People are afraid.
The Pursuit: Part 3 – Serve the World
The Art of Neighboring Luke 10:25-37 To say we live in interesting times is probably the biggest understatement. Life as we have known it up until six weeks ago, has changed quite drastically. I am sure you have been inundated with information overload – whether it is on social media, the news, the various email and WhatsApp groups you may be in, at work, at school, at the grocery store. Events are being cancelled; our way of life is being curtailed. From
Theology Matters: What About the “Other Gospels?”
Over the years, I’ve watched as the attacks on Christian faith have moved from one front to another. When one objection is met and disposed of by counter evidence, another soon follows. These challenges arise first in the universities, and then trickle down into the media (“breaking news”), popular documentaries, and the like. One of the most popular today is the claim that the Church has deliberately ignored, or by “conspiracy” hidden, the fact that there were many other gospels written
Series: The Pursuit – Love God
By Philipp Meinecke, Guest Preacher Today is a special Sunday in many respects as there are several things coming together all at once. For one, according to the liturgical church calendar today is the first Sunday of Lent – a preparation time for Easter in about six weeks. It’s a season during which we give up certain things and replace them with a more intent focus on our relationship with God. If done right, its spiritual merits become visible not only
Throwing Cold Water: Some Days It’s Difficult to Tell the Christian from the Non
A friend of mine said, “I know that we're supposed to go to church because when coals get separated, they grow cold alone. But when I take my little fire to church someone always throws cold water on it.” He stopped attending because every time he went he would return home more discouraged and lonely than before. Someone always threw water on his fire! Sound familiar? I hear this pretty often. Have you ever wondered whether something you might have said
