Compassion and Conversion
Do we have such faith in God and compassion for the lost that we are relentless in our efforts to see people saved? The soul-winner’s work involves calling our Lord’s attention to impotent sinners (prayer) as well as bearing the spiritually paralyzed to the influence of Christ (witness). Mark 2:1-12

If you are a citizen of the United States of America, you have a stewardship for the placement of people in roles of leadership at both national and local levels. Our republican form of government places the primary authority in the hands of its citizens and the discretion to govern in the hands of those appointed by the citizens. If you are a Christian, you will someday oversee angels in heaven. We must show ourselves faithful first in that which is less if we are to be entrusted with greater duty and privilege in heaven. Below are some links

Are You a Glove for God?
“I am holding a glove in my hand. It is made of the finest leather, but this glove was made for a purpose; it was made to be worn on my hand. Apart from me this glove can do nothing. Despite its high quality of design and materials, its fashion and its form – it is nothing until I place my hand inside of it. Once that occurs, then and only then does the glove fulfill its purpose. And with my hand placed securely inside the glove, the glove can now do whatever my hand can do while wearing

Tabulating the Time
Most people who own a vehicle pay at least a little attention to the odometer on their dashboard. A lower number on the dial causes us to think that we have little to be concerned about at present. The vehicle is good for many more miles.  With each turn of the dial, we imagine the longevity of our trusted transportation is getting shorter. However, even a low-mileage vehicle can have mechanical problems or worse–be totaled in an accident or even stolen.  With each passing calendar year, we each come closer to that moment when our life on earth is over.

Truthfulness versus Convenience
In Exodus 5, there is a dispute about the Hebrews staying under servitude in Egypt or leaving to go worship Jehovah in the wilderness. God sent Moses to Pharaoh with the message to release the people. That ought to settle the matter. There should be no debate as to what the right thing is to do.  However, Pharaoh calls the slave supervisors together for a meeting and among other things tells them to pay no attention to untruthful reports (vs. 9 “not regard vain words”). “Were the slaves exaggerating?”, one might ask. Actually, there is no indication that the

Weddings
A marriage ceremony is a wonderful portrayal of the believer’s union with Christ. Jesus is the bridegroom and we are His bride. We believe that a wedding ceremony is a sacred worship service. To ensure that God is truly glorified on this special day, we have some simple guidelines for weddings and wedding receptions at our church. If you are looking for a wedding in our area and are not a member of our church, we would suggest contacting a local wedding service like The Myrtle Beach Wedding Chapel. Scheduled Wedding Ceremonies

Christ Our Anchor
Heb 6:19a “Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast.” A boat on the water is at the mercy of waves and winds. During a storm, it can be driven miles from its intended location in a matter of minutes.  Not only do the occupants of the vessel find themselves in a place they would rather not be, but they risk running aground and crashing into reef or another ship. That is why an anchor is a crucial item to have in any boat. When properly used, it holds the boat in an intended

Do You Talk to Yourself?
The Pharisee in Luke 7:39 “spake within himself” which offered no check and balance in preventing wrong conclusions. Self-conversations should always welcome the Holy Spirit to be the moderator.  “No one is more influential in your life than you are, because no one talks to you more than you do.” Paul Tripp

Navigating Life
A successful journey does not depend on which way the wind blows but on the set of the sail. Job 30:22a “Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it”
