While I was out and about on Sunday with my wife and son, I realized how crowded the mall parking lot was. Wow, (you say to yourself) “He was out at the mall and not to church?” Yes, I was. It was great to just get out for a bit, get some fresh air and enjoy being with them. Back to the crowded mall story; my son and I noticed how crowded the place was and we both were thinking, maybe they got out of church early? I then though, well I’d better hurry up, get what I came for and leave before the churches let out and I’m stuck in traffic. Read more »

In response to a Internet search using the phrase “Do I have to go to church on new years”, I want to post a simple reply. No!
To my knowledge, in the Christian Church, there is no requirement, for believer to attend a worship service on New Years. Church leadership may hold what is called a “Watch Night Service” on New Years Eve. Traditionally in most Baptist or Holiness churches, a worship service is held between the hours of 9 pm until 12:30 am to reflect on and thank God for His blessings through out the passing year and praise Him the New coming year. As the clock strikes midnight, the worship service erupts in the sound of church members shouting “PRAISE HIM” Or “God I thank You!” or the clapping of hands. Read more »

People are constantly searching for “what the bible says” about various topics. In the hands of someone looking to preach for a profession almost any action can be justified in the bible. If your looking to justify a reason to drink…”there’s a app scripture for that” (sorry, I couldn’t resist). Leaders can teach church members they SHOULD be in attendance every time the church doors are open and can find a scripture to enforce obedience. People that what to justify drinking wine will refer to the passage of scripture when Paul tells Timothy to “take a little wine for thy stomach’s sake” or the account of Jesus turning the water into wine.
What does the Bible say? That depends on what you are looking for, the truth or justification. Anyone can search the commentaries or talk to their circle of friends to see what they think. Read more »

Have you ever wondered the purpose of fruit? What’s it for? Fruits like, beautiful red apples, ripe grapes, melons and delicious strawberries. The one thing they all have in common is seeds; seeds are vital and key for the reproduction of these fruit bearing plants; as we remember from our science 101 classes. When fruit bearing plants are in their natural habitat and they bear fruit, seeds are moved about by the wildlife that eats the fruit. Read more »
