Verse of the Day – Hebrews 11:1 KJV
¹ Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Teaching the Word with Doug
Doug Reynolds teaches the Young Adults Sunday School class at Highland Park Baptist Church. Although the class calls itself ‘The Young Adults in Denial’ because most of the class is over the age of 40, it is a class where God’s word is learned through reading and open discussion. The class usually picks the topics and Doug creates a lesson for it. Doug has reformatted these lessons so the seeds of God’s word can now be cast even further. True Grace and…
The Purpose of God for You
The Purpose of God for You By Billy Graham • May 10, 2017 Everything comes from God alone. Everything lives by his power, and everything is for his glory. To him be glory evermore. —Romans 11:36 (TLB) Have you ever wondered why God placed us on this planet? What our purpose is in being here? It is because God is love.

New Heaven, New Earth
New Heaven, New Earth By Billy Graham • May 9, 2017 The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. —Revelation 11:15 Christianity is a Gospel of crisis.

The Influence of a Mother
The Influence of a Mother By Billy Graham • May 8, 2017 Her children arise up, and call her blessed… — Proverbs 31:28 Only God Himself fully appreciates the influence of a Christian mother in the molding of character in her children. Someone has said, “Like mother, like children.” Most of the noble characters and fine leaders of history have had good, God-fearing mothers.

Verse of the Day – Hebrews 9:28 KJV

A Voice from the Past
I received a letter yesterday from a dear friend and co-worker at American Airlines. I have referred to him or his actions several times in past letters. Jeff was one of the first ‘real’ Christians that I met as an adult and I didn’t even realize it at the time. I thought I would share parts of his letter with you because it blessed me, and I hope you will find a blessing in it as well. – Roscoe (Christian…
Truth Brings Freedom
Truth Brings Freedom By Billy Graham • May 7, 2017 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. —John 8:36 The mark of a true Christian is found in his personal relationship to the Person of Jesus Christ. Christianity is Christ. Christ is Christianity. I speak reverently when I say that Jesus is more than His ideas. All that He said was true, but without Him even the truth would have been powerless. Men know…
Verse of the Day – John 1:14 KJV
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Dominoes
Dominoes What a really great morning it was today! The Men’s breakfast was great! Even though a couple of the regulars were missing (And we did miss you!) we were still blessed with fifteen Christian Men sitting down to fellowship by sharing a good breakfast, praising God with beautiful music and hearing his word delivered. In his message today, Jim Best (With God’s help I’m sure . . .) managed to penetrate my thick skull with probably something very basic…
