Jesus led by example in his love of mankind
(This is part 2 of a two-part series looking at the example Christ provided for humans) Jesus is the example of how to love our fellow man. Prejudice did not have a place in the life of the Lord. This is clearly seen when he talked with a Samaritan woman (John 4:6ff). The Samaritans were thought of by most Jews as being lower than dogs; they were to be avoided. When Jesus spoke to ...
Keep an eye on what you do in your life
Whether we realize it or not, if we claim to follow Christ and claim to be living a changed life, then there are others watching us to see if we are genuine or just a fake.
Let God help carry the load in the new year
In just a couple of days, we will turn our calendars over to a brand new year. I remember the first time my parents allowed me to stay up until midnight on Dec. 31. I was so looking forward to whatever it was that made that moment so magical.
Jesus Christ is the example we all need to follow
You may remember the day when the teacher told you to get out that large round pencil and your tablet - it was time to learn to write the alphabet.
Let the peace of the Lord rule your life
In the Christmas story, the shepherds were told by the angels that the birth of the Christ child meant that there would be peace on Earth.
The promises have been kept
Well, if you are reading this column, you can be certain that the prognostications were wrong.
Showing care for others should happen all year
Once again, we approach the holiday season, and almost everywhere the attitude of care for our fellow man is shown.
Christmas started in a small way
The angel said to the shepherds, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a savior, which is Christ the Lord." And with that announcement, the son of God came into our world.
Understanding the true meaning of joy
When we think of the Christmas season and the birth of Christ, we think of joy. One of the all-time favorite Christmas hymns is "Joy to the World." For a Scriptural foundation, we need to go to Matthew 2:10, where the Magi were full of joy because they saw the star that led them to the Christ child. Why were they full of joy? Because a future ruler who would reign as a fair, just ...
Faith briefs
Special services: In today's society there is a gravitational pull to overdo Christmas, which leads to stretching schedules and finances and can cause stress. Join New Beginnings Community Church for a series on "A plain ole Christmas," including "A Plain Ole Joy" today, and "A Plain Ole Peace" Dec. 23.
Make your journey with Jesus every day
It is at this time of year that the world seems to think more about Jesus, and for a month people act and treat others better than at any other time of the year. What about the other months of the year? It is as if they journey through life without Jesus.
At least we can offer praise to God
All throughout Scripture we find instances of people who believed and trusted in God praising him.
Know the Lord in a special way
What is your favorite Christmas song? Which one is your least favorite? The many songs of Christmas are memorable in their own way. I enjoy most of them. I admit that the song "Christmas Shoes" does not make my favorites list. I turn it off as soon as I hear the introduction. You see, it came out the year my mother died. I simply cannot listen to that song.
The Lord wants our spiritual sides healthy
Last week, we began looking at the idea that we must take care of ourselves physically and spiritually. We continue our study today.
Focus on the priority of Christmas
Whether we are ready for it or not, the Christmas season is upon us. There is something horribly wrong with that statement because Christmas should be a joy and a much-anticipated event. We somehow have been sucked into the commercialistic and materialistic side of Christmas to the point that, for some, it is dreaded and fills them with stress and financial burdens. In the book of Luke's telling of the first Christmas, we are told ...

Heed wise words of the Master

God shows wack back to salvation
God created man to worship and love him. He had prepared a place for man to dwell, providing all of man's needs. (Genesis 1, 2). In doing this, God allowed for his creation, man, to be able to decide to obey him or to follow another way (Joshua 24:15).
