Jesus said: "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God." (Matthew 5: 9) As Christians, we are followers of Christ, Who Is the Prince of Peace.  Although He always bears this title, as God's children we often place greater emphasis on this part of His ministry during the celebration of Christmas.  It is a beautiful thing to see the outpouring of love and concern for others that is generally shown at Christmas. The sins of selfishness and greed s

At our service on new year's morning, we sang: "Oh God, our help 1n ages past, our hope for years to come. Be Thou our Guide while life shall last, and our eternal home."      What better prayer could have been offered at this first service of the new year? It gives expression to our need of God and of His presence in our daily lives. Each day is God's gift to us, and it is His will that we would use them wisely. The best way for us to do so is to use each day in the light...

“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” Revelation 22:13 KJV     What wonderful words to read on the last day of 2025. As we close another year and look forward to the coming one, we can remember our Savior who is without beginning or ending. He who was promised in the garden of Eden as the one who would crush the head of the serpent. John says he was the Lamb slain before the foundation of the earth. We can look at our past year and see him

In the four corners of the world, preparations are being made to celebrate Christmas.  It is a time of unequalled festivity.  More time and effort are expended in these annual preparations than for any other occasion.  Many weeks before Christmas, we are exposed to the world’s meaning and the joys of the holiday season.   Although Christians and the people of the world both observe Christmas, the emphasis of necessity must be different.  For the world it is a time of levity w

As a nation, we have reason to be thankful. We have a godly heritage. Our pilgrim fathers were searching for freedom of worship. With an extraordinary amount of courage they set out upon the little-known waters of the Atlantic. With immeasurable personal sacrifice they endured the rigors of that first winter which drastically reduced their numbers. It could only have been their faith in God that sustained them in the face of what must have seemed like insurmountable odds.

These words continue to symbolize the spirit of the reformation which signaled a new era for the Christian church. It was not a new or a different work than that which was evident in the early church following Pentecost, but a continuation and a revival of that work. It was a revival of what has been and should always remain the central theme of Christianity. It is the Biblical doctrine which alone leads to salvation — to peace with God through faith in the Lord Jesus Chris
