By Cody Anderson I hope you have already found yourself more thankful since the beginning of this series. I have found myself in times of frustration and irritation, reminding myself to be grateful for the very things irritating me. It completely changed my attitude and caused me to offer praise and worship to God. Straight … Continue reading ThanksGiving, Part 4

Thanksgiving, Part 3
By Cody Anderson In this day and age, I think it is easy to see that people are quicker to complain than to give thanks or praise. Unfortunately, it is the lifestyle of the world. Paul’s writing in Colossians 3:15-17 addresses how our lifestyles and worship as new creations should be marked by giving thanks. … Continue reading Thanksgiving, Part 3
ThanksGiving, Part 1
By Cody Anderson We are beginning a Thanksgiving series. Let’s look at what it means to give thanks. How can we give thanks? To whom is thanks given, and why? This seems like a no-brainer of an article, much less an entire series. I will be honest, when I started my preparation, I thought the … Continue reading ThanksGiving, Part 1
“…to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord”
By Joey Carroll How can I motivate you toward a life of devotion to the Lord? If you are an unbeliever, I would first encourage you to consider His character. Everyone has an opinion about God, and how they live reflects that opinion. But I think it is best to let go of our opinions … Continue reading “…to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord”

Intimacy

But the Bible does have much to say about these things. So, you will have to make the decision we all have to make when we sit down to … Continue reading Intimacy
Reasons to Flee
By Sarah Wootten If you remember from last week, we started the second half of 1 Corinthians 6 where believers are commanded to flee immorality. Paul, however, doesn’t just give the Christians a quick command to flee. Instead, he gives a list of principles to show them how immorality is unfitting for Christians. To us, … Continue reading Reasons to Flee
Living by Slogans
By Sarah Wootten I used to carry around a small notebook. I filled it with quotes from books, sermons, friends, and songs that were impactful to me. After reading through it often and repeatedly, these quotes became a part of me. When a friend moved away, the words of Winnie the Pooh rang through my … Continue reading Living by Slogans
And Such Were Some of You
By Sarah Wootten Hypocrites. They drive us all crazy. If you want to insult someone, you call them a hypocrite. We’ve all witnessed one or two in our lifetimes. It’s the person who says one thing with his mouth, but his actions are completely opposite of what he says. Like a business owner who refuses … Continue reading And Such Were Some of You
