The ABC Pastor

At ABC (Ashland Bible Church) we are moving at a snail pace through the letter from God to us via the hand of Paul to the first church established in Europe – at Philippi in the land of modern Greece.  In doing some background work in Acts to help us grasp God’s ways in that “church...

Why Blue?

One of my dad’s neighbors has two “Harris Walz” signs in their front yard.  A couple of years ago their yard sign said, “Vote Democrat.”  He is a coach at the local college (why is upper ed so dominated by democrats?).  I took note that the vast majority of yard signs in North Platte are “Trump Vance”.  There...

Turn Away!

But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:  For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people... Continue Reading →

Luther on Faith

It was October 31, 1517, that a torch was lit that changed the world.  It was on October 31 and over the next few years that Martin Luther challenged the status quo, faced down the lion, and set the world on fire.  It was October 31 that hope was born for the dignity of man, the rule...

Live by Faith!?

Martin Luther, a Catholic priest who lived 500 years ago, took issue with his church and their teachings on salvation and made his thoughts public on October 31.  He was one who feared God (the thunderstorm), greatly desired to please God and was diligent to follow the teachings of the church as to how to do...

Beat Up!

Just like NU today... A few weeks back a SSB faithful attendee told me that he loved attending church (worship) at SSB.  I thanked him and asked him why?  He said because “I get beat up!”  “I come here to get beat up and walk out feeling good about it!”  He talked about how through the week he drifts...

Ashland Ahead

I have had many of you ask about the Ashland project as to my reasoning and longevity and as the elders have said over and over, I/we don’t have clear answers – just ideas.  This could come together in less than a year or it could be a long haul. Janet’s week at Brookstone reinforced both... Continue Reading →

Ahead

I’m listening to a popular TV preacher “refute” the idea of a rapture.  He has read from Luke 19 and Matthew 24 and launched into “mocking” those who believe in “two comings.” While I don’t profess to have this prophecy thing all figured out, I have spent some 50 years working on it and not as...

Callings

It was August 12, 1993 that Janet and I with the five kids drove into Huron exploring where God might use us in the next phase of life.  A Christian high school was very high on the list as Jettie was to be senior and it was our desire that she have a group senior experience... Continue Reading →

Psalm 50 Wisdom

God - the all-powerful Creator who has spoken to all men in Creation, in their conscience, through governments, through prophets and apostles and through His Son - is beautiful and glorious! 1-2, The Mighty One, God the Lord, has spoken and called the earth from the rising of the sun to its going down. Out of Zion, the... Continue Reading →
