FEBRUARY NEWSLETTER: CHURCH TALK

It would probably do us more good than we can imagine to stop and think just how much God loves us and how He shows His love each day. We should never take God's love for granted nor presume upon it for His love does not come by default, it comes by the blood shed on Calvary's cross. We surely do not

Psalm 52:8

When I visited Israel in 2017, I went to the Mount of Olives. There were olive trees still standing, green and alive, though gnarled and knotty. Our guide told us that some of those very trees were probably there when Jesus Christ walked in the garden. The olive tree is one of the longest living and most prolific tree in the world. The Psalmist David uses this an

There is no better place to celebrate Christmas than with your family. That's because the family is where love is most emphatically practiced and produced. Christmas is really a celebration of the love of God for His people and creates hereby a cause for u

  Psalm 116:17

I saw a sign at a church recently which said, "The best vitamin for a Christian is B1." The best way to know if a Christian is taking his or her vitamins is their thanksgiving. If our relationship with God is right we can be thankful for all things, just like we are commanded by God to be. On the other hand, if unconfessed sin, disobedience, or doubt is in the pictu

Ecclesiastes 3:1

Spring gets in the air, but fall gets in the heart! October is sort of like the henges on a gate or door which provides an accessible and easy opening to something beautiful and wonderful. A season is a period of time and time is what God uses to ut His plan of salvation into practice. Although God is timeless, His creatures and His creation are all bound by the bookends of season

Psalm 40:5

One of the functions of the church is to make much of God. To praise and glorify God is the solemn and whole duty of creation, but most especially to those who have been called out of the deceitfulness of sin and loosed from the bondage of

 Psalm 122:1

Are you glad today? The goodness and grace of God is surely beneficial and powerful enough to keep us glad. Gladness means cheerfulness. And God not only loves a cheerful giver, He loves a glad Christian too! Although God's love is unconditional on His part, it is not as far as our part is concerned. The truth is, our gladness is a pretty good gauge of our love for god. Yes, the truth mak

 1 John 3:14

One of the ways we can know we are saved by God's amazing grace is that we love people. And the local church is sort of like a spiritual test station whereby the outgrowth of Christ's redemptive work on the cross of Calvary is revealed. Although our salvation is not necessarily dependent upon how many friends we have, it is dependen

A wilderness is defined as an uncultivated or abandoned and inhospitable region. When a beautiful place like a garden is neglected, it will become a wilderness. Nobody likes a wilderness but it is Avery vital region, both naturally and spiritually. Most species of plants and animals that are endangered to continuous life are found in the wilderne

Song of Solomon 4:12 

Most of us know what it’s like to have a vegetable garden. This garden is the source of much joy, good things to eat, and satisfied fulfillment. However, this special place requires lots of elbow grease and knee pads too. Sweet corn is sweetened by sweat and peas are picked with some back pain. If you are a gardener though, you know it’s worth it. The garden can be th

Matthew 18:18

Even though the church universal, the body of Christ, has a sure foundation in Christ Himself as the chief cornerstone and will be triumphant even during the coming tribulation, it does seem the church, especially the local church, has lost some of her clout in today’s culture. It’s comforting to know that

Malachi 3:8

Back in the time of Malachi, the transgressions of God’s people had increased to the point where the covenant community was even stealing from God. It might seem strange to speak of human beings robbing the Lord who created the universe and everything in it. After all, God is sovereign over all and owns the whole creation. So how can it be said that a

I Kings 6:5

    In Elisha the Prophet’s day, there was a group of men studying the scriptures and learning about God. They grew in knowledge but also in number. The building they were meeting in became too small to hold them all, so they decided to build a bigger building. Anytime growth is involved, there is work to be done, whether it’s in natur
