Pastor’s Blog Post 7

To the Saints,
One of the most dangerous weapons the enemy can use to discourage believers is to tempt them to doubt the love of God. Now, I don’t mean the common misunderstanding of the love of God that is heard of so much today: The “love” of a frustrated deity, hoping his creatures will let […]

Pastor’s Blog Post 6

Response to David Tolliver’s article “Addressing Missouri Baptist and Alcohol”

I recently took a few minutes to read an old author to encourage my own soul. This quote from Thomas Boston’s Human Nature In Its Fourfold State is very encouraging:

Pastor’s Blog Post 1

To the Saints, 
I was sitting on our deck last night, enjoying the night sky. The moon came up out of the east and was full.  I’ve always been fascinated by astronomy. Some day, I intend to get a telescope and spend more time getting a closer look at the beauties of God’s distant creation.
 Anyway, as […]
