Welcome to
 I'm constantly amazed at the newspapter and internet headlines. Whether it is the latest financial crisis, environmentall disaster or pop star with a drug or drinking problem, the outlines always seem to be the same. There is a great buildup, this is the handwringing phase. Identify and quantify the hugeness of this problem, whether there really is one or not. Then, point the finger at who is to blame. The blame phase is usually a random scattergun of anyone in the viscinity. Conservatives, Christians, corporations and God are all favorite targets. With that phase complete it's time to decide what needs done. At this point we many times get the opinions of rock stars, models, bimbos, drug addicts, sex addicts, drunks and sports stars. It really doesn't matter that they haven't a clue. It's just that they are popular and they have an opinion. They all declare the same thing, "Someone needs to do something!!" Many times this is a plea for the government to get involved.
It wasn't that long ago that men and women got married, stayed married, made homes, worked a job, had kids, raised a family and were content with life. News was trustworty. Politics was politics but truth and honor mattered more than power. Now, it just seems like a free for all. The world has gone crazy. When you boil down all the goofy stories in the news the problems all come back to the sinful nature of man. The pride and arrogance of men who think they are in control or will assume control is amazing. The promise is just one more program, one more tax. However, none of those things will work. Repentance and faith is the answer. We must turn to God and honor Him and then we will see the world change.
 Imagine a news story of the latest star who gets busted for drugs while cheating on his wife. What would happen if the star actually was called to repentance. What if he was no longer hired for movies or concerts until his life was cleaned up. Imagine the star taking responsibility for his actions and repenting. What if they actually called out to God publicly. This kind of action quickly reminds me of King David and the Psalms. It's not likely to happen, I know. However, it starts with each person living a life of repentance and trust. It starts with you and I.
Living a Godly life in the middle of the mess the world is in comes from living a life with Jesus Christ right in the center. To find out how this is done, we must be men and women of the bible. This book of life must be central to our life. That's who we are and why we exist as a church. We'd love for you join us. Please stop by and be our guest. You can find out a little bit about us from our website, but you'll have to stop by and visit us to know the love of God flowing from a great fellowship of folks who love the Lord. If you have comments, questions or a prayer request, please email me at
