Where Two or Three Are Gathered…Or Not!
Technology! It’s everything today—more than we ever realized! And it’s redefining everything in life: how we relate to each other, parent our children, do our school work, and carry on our day-to-day business. Virtually everyone walking down the street is transfixed by the little screen in the palm of their hand. But when it comes to God, the fundamental fact dwarfing all other facts in the universe, everything seems upside down. To our fast-lane world, the careful study, contemplation, and enjoyment
Keeping Your Word
A Daily Devotional by Pastor Chuck Swindoll March 11, 1942, was a dark, desperate day at Corregidor. The Pacific theater of war was threatening and bleak. One island after another had been buffeted into submission. The enemy was now marching into the Philippines as confident and methodical as the star band in the Rose Bowl parade. Surrender was inevitable. The brilliant and bold soldier, Douglas MacArthur, had only three words for his comrades as he stepped into the escape boat destined
From the Pastor: I Just Don’t Have the Time!
“I’m too busy, it’s overwhelming me.” “I just don’t have the time. No kidding.” “I know I promised to get back to you, but…” “There aren’t enough hours in the day to get things done.” As a pastor, I regularly hear that the busyness and demands of life today are just too overwhelming to live a happy, healthy life. Parents of young children are too busy helping with homework, parents of youth are preoccupied with their issues as well as ensuring their children are

We Often Feel Like Losers: Who Will Win?
by Alastair Hayward, Guest Preacher Who will win? I guess it depends on the context. Will Bayern win the Champions League this year? Will Liverpool win the Premiership for the first time in thirty years? Will the Cubs win the World Series? Will Donald Trump beat Joe Biden? Will the coronavirus win or will we defeat it in the end? These verses at the beginning of the book of Acts tell us that in the end Jesus wins and is the supreme
From the Pastor: The Destructive Power of Negative Internal Dialogue
Hatred of self—of the way we look, the way others see us, the way we see ourselves—guarantees misery. Sometimes our own negative internal dialogue can be worse than anything anyone can say to, or about, us. In a Glamour (Shocking Body-Image News: 97% of Women Will Be Cruel to Their Bodies Today) magazine survey, it was reported that young women had about 13 negative body-shaming thoughts a day! Does this survey shock you? It’s not just women; you might be surprised
From the Pastor: How Do We Discern God’s Guidance in Adversity?
For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end. -Psalm 48:14 In talking to friends here and back in the USA, through this time of lockdown, stressful situations, and restrictions, it appears many are seeking God’s guidance and help. So how do we discern God's guidance? What we learn from others is that God’s leading “was done in such a way that I couldn’t possibly have missed the point. The whole experience
From the Pastor: Avoiding the Blame Game
Biblical wisdom is seen in the God-centered life. It’s not just good advice. It’s others-centered. We know this to be true, yet life seems to offer us many opportunities for resentment, disillusionment, or anger designed to turn us quickly self-centered as we compare ourselves to others: We didn’t get what we thought we deserved—that promotion, job, relationship, or vacation to the Bahamas! We don’t like the way we look. We feel cheated, duped, discarded. We broke up with our loved
