We have been meeting and will continue to meet online with our church during this COVID 19 period. We might still share the word together and pray together – even sing (awkwardly) together. But there is a power in physical presence and physical gathering that we can’t replace—of experiencing other people live and in color; of seeing them, and listening to them,…

God is taking me into a new, more passionate season of prayer. As a Christian, I have always prayed, even as a small child. But during most of our lifetimes, we have never encountered as powerful an enemy as the Corona Virus. We can’t see it, we can’t smell it, or hear it. It is an invisible enemy until you contract it.…

One of the most-repeated commands in the Bible is to “fear not.” Jesus told us in the Sermon on the Mount not to worry about tomorrow. And Paul assured the Philippian Christians, Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,…

I was blessed to have Christian parents and to be raised in a Christian home where God was honored. My mother was a real prayer warrior and encouraged us to pray about everything–nothing was too big or small to carry to the throne room of God. Our best example of the power of prayer was Jesus himself. Even though he was the…

….to our leadership, staff, and helpers who made the Love One Another Banquet so enjoyable. The room was decorated beautifully, the food was delicious and the games had me laughing the whole time. We missed those who couldn’t attend. You missed a real treat. In an atmosphere like we had, it gave us an opportunity to have conversations with those who we…

When writing to the church in Rome, Paul says, “For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For His invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse” –…

I don’t know if you have noticed, as I have, how many deaths we’ve experienced here at Three Point in the last few months. Some are deaths of our members and some are the deaths of our family members or friends. I have used up my box of sympathy cards and need to purchase another. I don’t know if the cards have…

As I’m writing this, Margie is busy packing for our trip to Salt Lake City (notice how I got out of the packing…). We are meeting all of our children and grandchildren there to spend a few days skiing, snowmobiling, and family time. I was reminded by Margie (and many, many others), that whenever I get involved in an activity, I usually…

We just finished a series on The Church that Jesus Built. We looked at the differences in the mindset of the modern church in light of what Jesus said the church should be. My prayer is that we grew as the body of Christ during this study. I believe the way we view the Church will determine what we get from the…

I don’t know about you, but I’m excited about the New Year! So, I have a question for you. How’s your vision? I know we all wish we could answer that it’s 20/20, however, many of us need glasses or contacts to get us to that point. Well, this year is 2020! I know it’s not quite the same as physical vision,…
