From our Sunday School lesson yesterday: Acts 19:23, And about that time there arose a great commotion about the Way. “The Way” was the name given to the early followers of Jesus before they/we came to be known as Christians. The name came from Jesus’ declaration that He is “the way, the truth, and the life” told us in John... Continue Reading →
John 14:1, Let not your heart be troubled, you believe in God, believe also in Me. In my Father’s house are many mansions… So, with eternity in view, Jesus gave a couple of strong prerequisites for those desiring an entrance into Heaven when they are resurrected. I. “You believe in God” Who is God? He is without... Continue Reading →
Atheist China has a problem – a BIG problem – some 100 million Christians! And why Christians there? Because of faithful, loving, sacrificial missionaries like Hudson Taylor, John Birch, and Eric Liddell (born January 16, 1902) – the 1924 Paris Olympian who wouldn’t run on Sunday. --------- The Japanese Samurai Code gives honor to those who fight...

Janet and I took a Christmas light viewing ride the other night and drove through a middle class neighborhood with many a house lit up and did not see one manger scene - not one! (In our own neighborhood there are a number of creche scenes - yeah!) We paid the $20 and drove through the Warner... Continue Reading →
Recently an evangelical denomination announced that it was redoing its official documents including its Statement of Faith to bring them more in line with the culture.

And you believe in a talking snake and a talking donkey? And you believe that the entire... Continue Reading →
(You can see this service on the SSB Facebook page) Yesterday’s service had a number of points worth repeating and since I can’t preach it again soon or likely ever again, I want to repeat a few in this musing. We talked about Heaven being marked by full joy (Ps 16), perfect peace (Is 9),... Continue Reading →
We arrived in D.C. the afternoon of Sept. 6 and got to our hotel which was about four blocks south of the Washington Mall – the great green area that runs from the Capitol on the east, ends in the west with the Lincoln Memorial and features the Washington monument about halfway (the Washington Monument...

Colossians 1:12-14, Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the...

I was recently given an educational video to view that was very well done and widely accepted but, I didn’t think the teaching was that good. A number of points were either weak or, I think, wrong. Yet, it was well accepted. Why? Cinema! What is cinema, you ask? Cinema is the art or technique of making motion pictures (Merriam-Webster). Cinema... Continue Reading →
