From Luke 2:1-12 “In those days, a decree went out that all the world should be taxed. Everyone went to be taxed, each into his own city. Joseph also went up from Nazareth, into the city of David, called Bethlehem; (because he was of the lineage of David), to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And while they were there, she gave birth to her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger; because there was no room f...
What began as a season of political madness has spread throughout our society, and even into many churches. Character assassination has become a staple of our day. It does not matter if the charges are true or verifiable. The press reports the accusation and a person’s reputation is ruined. The public remains fascinated. It reminds me of how during the time of Jesus’ ministry, He was accused of several things, such as associating with tax collectors and sinners, and saying that He healed by the power of Satan instead of adm...
The story from Acts Chapter 3:1-10 is one about the man who had been lame from birth, whose friends carried him daily to the temple gate so that he could sit and beg for a living.

And we are amazed at how fast time has passed. However, we should always remember the real reason for Memorial Day, which is honoring our fallen heroes in uniform. Earlier this year in a joint session of Congress, President Trump chose to h...
This is the season of political madness. Character assassination has become a staple in our political system. It does not matter if the charges are true or verifiable. The press reports the accusation and a person’s reputation is ruined. Yet, the public seems to have a fascination with these reports. It reminds me of how during the time of Jesus’ ministry, He was accused of several things, such as associating with tax collectors and sinners and saying that He healed by the power of Satan instead of admitting that He was fro...
One thing I like about this part of Adam County is the number of good churches found here. Some, like my home church of Benge Community Church, are more off the beaten path; but after the country drive to get there, we always feel like we’ve arrived home to family. The dear people in Benge have become like family to us; and they really are, because we are all part of God’s family. With all of the many children there are in Benge, I am reminded of how Jesus said to let the little children come unto Him for the kingdom of God...
