April 16, 2021 Church Family: As you experience life today, you most likely have heard the world confidently tell you how the God of the Bible is horribly angry and hot tempered.  Then they proceed, usually somewhat angrily, to tell us what the God of the Bible should be like - a loving, non-wrathful God.  As believers we also have the same tendency to strip God of His wrath.  We forget that the G...  Read More

March 19, 2021 Church Family:  As we live our lives in this world as followers of Christ and we watch the chaos unravel each day with an ever-increasing level of evil, do we get a sense that there is an organized power behind these movements and systems and individuals?  Do we think there must be a leader, an organizer, a General in charge of these consistent and pointed attacks?In our world today...  Read More
