Christmas is upon us. Our legendary Christmas Eve services will be held this Saturday at 3 & 4 PM, where we'll enjoy some performances, sing carols, play games, and hear a Christmas message. It's one of my favorite gatherings of the entire year: short and sweet, filled with laughter and joy, and home before 6 PM.  Read More

The Bible pulls no punches when it calls us spiritually "dead", "blind", and "lost." All of those adjectives can be used as insults if one so desires, right? When in an argument, if I call my opponent "blind", I don't mean it in a nice way.  Read More
