I was looking over some scriptures and found myself amazed once again at how much is said in the Bible about what is happening today, right before our eyes. One thing I need to say once again as we look into what the Bible has to say about these days is that we must never forget that a person needs […]
The Great Escape…Or Not, Part 3
By Jake One of the things that is hard for people to really accept the true reality of, is that history, whether it is ancient and reaching back in time many thousands of years, or more recent past history that spans the time of Christ to the last few hundred years, or even the future which will inevitably become history […]
Growing Together Through Our Differences
by Paul There was a news clip this morning reflecting the growing trend of anti-Christian rulings by our courts, schools, and governmental officials. It had to do with a decision by the NYC school district to not allow any churches to use their facilities. Interesting term here is ‘public’ schools. This is only one of numerous decisions over the past […]

The questain of the Rapture!

Love Lost
by Paul This past weekend (July 4th) we made a flying trip to the Bend area and in the process were able to see and reconnect with some old friends. The conversations varied but one theme somewhat stood out, centralized by the comment of one of my friends; “I don’t like the God of the organized church very well, but […]
That Way-Too-Convenient Snooze Button!
by Marci God is calling his church to wake up. Not only to wake up but to get up. Not only to get up but to get going. Too long have his children been asleep. Sure there have been some bad dreams during this slumber, but not nightmarish enough to wake us from our sleep and want to get out […]
