January 2018 Newsletter Article

We have come to 2018, our church's 100th anniversary year. In 1918 a small group of believers began meeting at a local store. The group eventually became the church we know today. We have existed on this little corner of Burke County for 100 years. None of us were here for the beginning of our church and if we exist here for another hundred years none of us will be here th...

November Newsletter

This month, people all over our country will pause for a moment, reflect on what they have, and express thankfulness. It is unfortunate that this day of thanks is followed by a day of excess, with the Black Friday shopping frenzy. Paul, in his letter to the church at Colossae, gives a list in chapter three of the character traits of those called by Christ. At the end of v...

Brought out of Darkness

Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,prisoners in affliction and in irons,for they had rebelled against the words of God,and spurned the counsel of the Most High.So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor;they fell down, with none to help.Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,and he delivered them from their distress.He brought them out of darkness and...

On the Brink...

As I sat down to watch the newly released videos of the chemical weapons attack in Syria, I was not terribly shocked by the graphic images they contained. It seems there is less and less to call shocking. I was, however, completely and utterly disgusted. I understand completely why they are being used to drum up support for military action against the Assad regime in Syria...

I Am a Church Member

Here is a preview of our Fall Small Group study: I Am a Church Member: Discovering the Attitude that Makes the Difference by Thom Rainer (BH Books, 2013) It seems there have been few, if any, recent studies that have reached positive conclusions on the overall health of churches. By and large they have painted a bleak outlook on the direction of God's chosen vessel of t...

And on the cross where Jesus died...

There has been a lot of debate in recent days about the nature Jesus' death. What did it mean? What did it cover? What did it accomplish? There are those who would try and minimize the necessity and propitiatory core of the death of the Savior of the world. If we do this, we miss the core of the Gospel. We miss the reality that we were once God's enemy and only through the...

Prayer...

Dear Church Family, I want to ask for your prayers for my family. About two and a half weeks ago, on Father's Day, my mother informed me that she had received negative results from a recent medical test. Since then we have found that she has a tumor in her lung that will require surgery. That surgery is currently scheduled for next Wednesday, July 10, at Frye Hospital. I ...

A Christian Nation?

As far back as I can remember I have heard this country of ours referred to by some as a "Christian nation." When I was pretty young, I was skeptical, but assumed that I had just missed something. In more recent years the mantra has become that we were once a Christian nation. This seemed to fit better but, to me, never seemed to be a satisfactory description of the histor...

July Newsletter

As I am writing to you we are just a few weeks away from kicking off our Colossal Coaster World VBS. I am reminded each year at this time when the Lord saved me at Vacation Bible School at the First Baptist Church of Taylorsville. That was a pivotal moment for me. While my life has not always reflected what Christ did that day, I know that he saved me. I read recently abo...
