Last night for youth group I had the students create masks because masks are what we use to hide our true selves.  We hide our sin.  We hide our shortcoming.  Basically, we hide anything that we do not want others to see.  That takes care of the inside, but what about the outside?  That is where our masks really come in handy.  With our masks on, we can pick and choose exactly what we want others

Joshua 21-22 / Psalm 47 / 1 Corinthians 10 Wow, today’s readings had a lot to say.  From the fulfillment of all of God’s promises to the house of Israel as stated in Joshua 21:45 to the whole of chapter 22 which in a nutshell is an example that before we go in to a fight we first need to confront the other party, there may just be a misunderstanding as there was with the Eastern Tribes.  This was

Today’s reading is from Joshua 18-20 and 1 Corinthians 9. In the passage from Joshua we read that 7 of the tribes have not received their land yet. Joshua doesn’t get it, why are they taking so long. It doesn’t say why there hadn’t claimed the land, but it does tell that Joshua gives instructions on how those 7 tribes need to figure out what land they want and then report back. By the end of

Yesterday's devotional readings were from Joshua 15-17 and 1 Corinthians 8. As I read the passage from 1 Corinthians 8 I stopped to really think about how what we do as followers of Jesus affects everyone we come into contact with, especially those who do not hold the same beliefs or are new to the faith.In this passage Paul is talking about food that was offered to idols. He begins the passage

“They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching” (Acts 2:42a). This was the Scripture for Pastor Mel’s teaching titled “Being Fully Devoted to the Apostles’ Teaching” this past Sunday. When he reminded us that when the New Testament church came into being they did not have the part of the Bible we call the New Testament. All they had was the Torah. At that point, all I could think of was the

If I tell someone that I am personally going to do something, they believe that I will do it.

IntroductionThe stories told in Genesis 12:10-20 and Genesis 20 give us two of the three “so-called “wife-sister” stories” (Birch, Brueggemann, Fretheim, & Petersen, 1999, p. 69). What causes a man that God has blessed to sin? God keeps Sarah safe and returns her back to Abraham in both passages. The following table gives us the different points of contrast in these passages.POINTS OF CONTRAST

As many of you know we have been praying for Regan Harper since I returned from General Assembly in 2006. On December 25, 2007 she went home to be with the Lord. I had wanted very much to go to the funeral, but having been sick and offline for several days I did not find out until a few hours before the service that she had passed away. She will be greatly missed. The following is the obituary

One of the interesting things in the article is that the Bible out sold the latest Harry Potter book by about 2 to 1.

IntroductionGod said to Adam “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; but the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die” (May & Metzger, 1977, p. 3). Why was this temptation placed right in the middle of the garden where it would always be seen? God creates the heavens and the earth and everything in it, judges and punishes

“The Passion of the Christ” is one of the most graphic movies ever made about Jesus, but how does it hold up against Scripture? Does the movie take liberties in adding things to what we have in the Scriptures and if so, why?“The Passion of the Christ” begins in the garden of Gethsemane and Jesus is praying. He stops and goes to where he left the disciples to pray. He finds them sleeping, wakes

Prophet. Messiah. Son of Man. Each has been used to describe Jesus Christ. Of the three, “Prophet” is the one description that has changed the least between the 1st century and today. To call Jesus the Messiah or the Son of Man, however, means different things today than it did in the 2000 years ago.Prophet is defined by the Random House Dictionary as “a person who speaks for God or a deity,

The first two books of the New Testament are Matthew and Mark. Since the authors did not sign their work, we can only guess who they are. These two Gospels while different both tell the story of Jesus Christ in different ways because their intended audiences were and continue to be different.When these Gospels were written it was not important for a writer to lay claim to his work. Because of

For us to believe in Jesus as the Son of God takes faith. To want to know who Jesus was is a matter of human curiosity. For several centuries scholars have been trying to figure out who the historical Jesus was. They have studied the Gospels and other ancient writings trying to discern what they do or do not reveal about him. Did Jesus really live? Is he the Son of God? Was he any different than

July 2007 NewsletterHi All,Choices. So many choices. How do we know what to choose? If I choose this one I may find out that I wanted the other one. If I decide to go one place and have a miserable time did I make the wrong decision? How will I know if I made the right choice? Maybe I should just ignore it and hope that it goes away. Wait, if I do that I made a choice, a choice to not make a

Sunday, May 20, 2007Today the pieces to the confirmation puzzle are put together. What is confirmation? The American Heritage® Dictionary defines confirmation as "A Christian rite admitting a baptized person to full membership in a church1." Confirmation provides our youth the opportunity to learn more about their faith, what they believe, and their commitment as a member of the church. It does

Sermon (5/6/2007)Why is it that everyone seems to be in a hurry to get somewhere? Whenever I go somewhere I always leave early if I am not sure exactly how long it will take to get there. If I do know how long it will take I try to leave early anyway just in case. Yet all around me everyone seems to be in such a rush. This proves to be a great lesson time when the girls are with me since they

I am still in shock regarding the shootings yesterday at Virginia Tech. What drives someone to such violence? On the news last night we were reminded of the worst shootings in United States history both on and off school campuses. What, if anything, can be done to prevent this from happening again? Will we become jaded to these incidents and only when they are worse than the time before will we

John 4:1-42In this passage Jesus leaves Judea for Galilee. Verse 4 says "Now he must go through Samaria." That is not quite the case, he could have gone around like any other Jew would have done. The Jews avoided the Samarians. They did not get along 2000 years ago and they do not get along now. The Jewish people did not consider the Samarians to be decendants of Joseph as the Samarians claimed

KCRG - News - ISU Students Care More about Tuition Payments than DiversityIn this news story ISU President Greg Geoffroy says that this shows "students need more exposure to diversity issues." Maybe if they did not have to worry about having enough money to pay tuition they would be more interested in diversity issues. Just for the record, I think that getting them more exposure to diversity

When it was announced that VeggieTales was coming to NBC on Saturday mornings there were a lot of people that were cheering. Then we found out that God had been edited out. Now it has been reported that the past several episodes of the the program have not been edited at all. Thank

What does God think about divorce? There are several Old and New Testament scriptures in regards to divorce. In Malachi 2:16 we get God’s opinion of divorce: "I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel, "and I hate a man's covering himself with violence as well as with his garment," says the LORD Almighty. If this were the first reference that I read of God’s opinion of divorce I would have

I have to agree with the author of this article, (Too much too soon The Courier-Mail) Christopher Bantick, that this is taking things too far too soon. This is right along the same lines as when Hasbro thought about introducing a line of dolls based on the Pussycats this past spring.It is hard enough being a parent in today's culture without having to explain to a 6 year old daughter what
