  • Cloud of Unknowing

    Edward Martin|Aug 10, 2023

    Sometimes we assume we have all the answers and folks from the distant past have nothing to teach us. That’s especially true when we have to distill the meaning from unfamiliar language and expressions. Even writings from a hundred years ago in English can be difficult because the writer expressed thoughts in ways far removed from our way of speaking today.

This list of verses does not include every pertinent verse in the bible for the purposes of praying for our kids as they go back to school. It is a sampling intended to spark...

  • Fifth Sunday

    Eric Dietrich|Aug 10, 2023

For the unbaptized, Fifth Sunday Sings were started in the pioneer days. Back then, rural Americans couldn’t make it to church every Sunday. Back then, America had 32 million farmers. So churches had “all-day sings,” usually every fifth Sunday. After four Sundays, homesteaders traveled travel miles into town, camped out on the church grounds,...

  • WORDS ARE POWERFUL

    Norm Miller, Montana Christian College|Aug 10, 2023

    The inspired and inerrant Word of God says a lot about words. Words can convey images and intense emotions. Words can injure and leave lasting scars. From Proverbs we read that word can destroy one’s friends and crushes their spirit. But gentle words bring life and health. Kind words are like honey – sweet to the soul and healthy for the body. Words have the power of life and death. Words of wisdom refresh like as a bubbling brook. Or, they can be a sword or a salve. The Bible also says words can bring personal trouble, be the small spark tha...
