….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…
O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit. Psalm 30:3 If you’re like me, there are times when we are spiritually hot. We have a hunger to read His word. We have a spring in our step as we face each day and the things the…
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! Psalm 51:1-2 If you are like me, we have made some terrible decisions in our lives. I mean, some were probably harmless in the end – just teaching us never…
Romans 3:23 says that, … all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. As his people, His children, we’re called to be like Jesus. We’re commanded to love just like he does (John 13:34-35). That’s a tall order. It’s easy to feel less-than-qualified, what with all our faults and bad choices, both intentional and unintentional. In fact, it’s easy…
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,…
Wearily she sat upon the donkey, Would this journey never end? Many questions filled her mind As they headed to the town of Bethlehem Ever since the angel’s visit, Her life had been a tangled mess. Whispers challenging her honor, Brought confusion and hurtful stress. But the ones who really mattered Believed the heavenly angel’s words, Now her time was growing closer,…
