I really enjoy the book of the Bible, 1 Peter. I love how relevant that it is to given situations, including the one we are in right now.

Read more "Evidences of God’s Grace: April-June 2020"I love the clarity of the Scriptures. For instance, in John 17:17, we get to read of Jesus praying for you and I.

Read more "Sanctify them by the truth"In disputable matters, it is not right for us as a Body to divide over such disagreements. We can discuss these and should discuss them. But to nurture bitterness over these things is not the way of Jesus. The Bible has much to say regarding the cultivation of Christian unity over disputable matters.

Read more "Encouragements in the Midst of COVID-19"That’s a blog post title, I didn’t anticipate using as 2020 began. In our area, and at the time of this blog post, we’re roughly 2 weeks into a whole lot of changes to what we might consider the normal rhythms of life.
