Last post of 2008

I guess this will be the last post this year! God has been so good to us. We have seen Him work in so many ways, souls saved, baptisms, growth, prayers answered, needs met, etc. It has been a good year! I know that some of you have been through some hard times but God [...]

Wrong priorities!

Genesis 37:30 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go? Sometimes it seems that we just can’t get straight what ought to be our concern or our priority! This verse is found in the story where Reuben comes back to find that they have taken [...]

Great Message by David Young

We had great message tonight from David Young, our son in law and missionary printer, tonight! He preached from 1Samuel 1. He talked about how God remembered Hanah! If you missed the service you missed a blessing. See you Sunday-don’t miss the service!

Tithing to recognize that blessings come from God

Genesis 28:20-22 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, So that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God: And [...]

Don't hurt yourself to spite your parents!

This devotional is for our teens and singles. I am not sure you understand the word spite in the title so I thought that I would give you a definition. It just might be a word from the old days and we old people. They used to say when I was a kid-don’t cut off [...]
