  • FAITH FOR TODAY: Take Thirty or So

    “Time for dinner...” echoing down the hallway and into my bedroom was one of my favorite things to hear as a child.  Now yes, if you know me, you know I like to eat and I always have.  But it wasn’t just the great home cooked meals my mother put on the table I was excited about.  Maybe you’ve heard of it, it was called sitting at the table as a family to eat together.  It was a remarkable thing.  It was a time that we chatted about the happenings of our day, a time we let out parents know if something was bothering us, a time to laugh at each

  • IN THE WORD: Trusting in God

    John 4:23-24 – “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

    As we look at what Jesus is telling us in these two verses, we see that we are to let the Holy Spirit take over our prayer life and our worship services. If we do not, we will get very little good out of either one.

    How right she was.
