Rev. Nate and Julie Ware You will notice that there has been about a month’s time since our last post. It has been almost 3 weeks since what I call . . . Needle surgery in the trapezius muscle . . . 7 – 10 shots, needle injection places that we could count. Even under anesthesia, I remember my statement: “What is this acupuncture?” The first day I was numb…Keep Reading

Rev. Nate and Julie Ware Deuteronomy 31:7 “And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the Lord hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.” Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,…Keep Reading

THOUGHT FOR TODAY, AUGUST 8, 2017: THE OTHER SIDE OF COMMUNICATING Yesterday we began with a thought on communicating effectively and then focused on three passages from the Book of Proverbs on the subject of speaking. Speaking is one side of communication. The other is listening. Sometimes we only listen for a place to butt in and rebut the speaker. We should listen to the whole person with the whole…Keep Reading

THOUGHT FOR TODAY, AUGUST 7, 2017: COMMUNICATING Individuals and organizations alike must constantly be monitoring their communications or fall prey to “communication slippage.” Alan Greenspan who was the Chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1987-2006 once said, “I know you think you understand what you thought I said but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.” Communication is a two-way process in which…Keep Reading

Rev. Nate and Julie Ware 2 Corinthians 5:21 King James Version (KJV) “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” Luke 9:23 King James Version (KJV) “And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” Joey…Keep Reading

Rev. Ray Amos – There is no one righteous, not even one… (Romans 3:10) There was a time in my life when I believed that it would be impossible to be like the people in the Bible. They seemed so perfect and extraordinary. Then, I realized how wrong I was. In fact, we are very much alike. Like Paul, I can do what I shouldn’t, and not do what I…Keep Reading

THOUGHT FOR TODAY, JULY 19, 2017: FINDING PEACE IN A WORLD OF CONFLICT Conflict is all around us: nation against nation, liberal against conservative, labor against management, family member against family member, and some of us against the rest of us. There are some people who are at peace in the midst of it all. “Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble” (Psalm…Keep Reading

Joey Strickler Sings Just As I Am Rev. Ray Amos – Altar time during worship is a very important time. When we enter into the church we realize that we are together in His presence. When we approach the altar to stand, or kneel, in prayer we are personally seeking to get a little closer. There is something about this public witness of faith that is very uplifting to the…Keep Reading

THOUGHT FOR TODAY, JULY 18, 2017: WHO’S YOUR COSIGNER? “Be surety for Your servant for good; Do not let the arrogant oppress me,” pleads the psalmist” (Psa 119:122, NJKV). To be surety for someone means to cosign for them, promising to pay their debt when they cannot. Does it seem outlandish for the psalmist to ask God to cosign for him? God did not think so, for he made Jesus…Keep Reading

Rev. Nate and Julie Ware Julie Ware – The Least of These Years ago I had to make one of my more devastating life’s decisions. I had known for a long time that I had to go to the crossroads and choose a different road and life change.
