Guilty…… Of what?
Posted by Rod Neufeld on April 20, 2016
I was listening to the radio this week and heard a new Newsboys song called “Guilty”. I believe it is on the “God’s Not Dead 2” soundtrack. It really got me thinking: I remember when I was younger and in school it was ok to talk about God and Jesus. It wasn’t considered criminal or taboo. Why is it...
Persecuted?
Posted by Rod Neufeld on November 10, 2015
Persecuted “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” Matthew 24:9-11 KJV Sunday as we filed...
Community in the Community
Posted by Brad Quiring on October 27, 2015
The church continues to grow because Jesus declared it would grow and that he himself would make it grow. Therefore, the church is represented all over the world. This huge community has smaller communities all over the world. We are one of those smaller communities that represents the greater community of believers and followers of Jesus. Each one of these...
My Way is not God’s Way
Posted by Rod Neufeld on August 5, 2015
Do you know where you are going when life here is over? It is the question nobody really wants to ask but we all really need to know the answer. I recently watched the movie, “American Sniper”, the story about U.S. Navy Seal Sniper Chris Kyle’s life. It dawned on me that as he was doing his required...
Go, Preach, Be Hated
Posted by Rod Neufeld on August 1, 2015
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15 KJV This is the last command given by Christ to the apostles. This is now our purpose as Christians. We are to preach the Gospel to every creature. All of them! As if that wasn’t hard enough, “And ye shall...
No Surprise
Posted by Brad Quiring on July 8, 2015
Things are getting better! Just read the news. Okay, things are NOT getting better. As Christians we lament over what is happening in our world. Often we are shocked by what goes on around us. We wonder if there is any good or if good can even come out of this. I’ve got some bad news, directly from the...
Condemning a condemned world?
Posted by Rod Neufeld on June 23, 2015
You know, I have a problem with what I see in the “Christian” community lately. There is such an air of judgment and condemnation in North America and I believe it is getting in the way of the Gospel. So, forgive me if I’m wrong. Which, I’m pretty sure I’m not. As Christians IT IS NOT OUR...
Dumb Christians
Posted by Rod Neufeld on May 15, 2015
Christian? You must be uneducated and ignorant?! I’m reminded of the Geoff Moore song, “Only a Fool”. Give it a listen if you haven’t. I have seen more and more talk show hosts and news media taking this stance. Only with Christians of course. They only dislike us for some reason. Not just dislike, but there is something...
Unconditional Love - What it Really Is
Posted by Rod Neufeld on April 16, 2015
What is “unconditional” love? Can we live by the examples given to us in the Bible? Our culture’s notion of love is skewed by many influences. It is getting harder and harder as Christians are called intolerant and narrow when we take a stand on something. Are we really that way? God has showed us love. Without Him there...
Who is this JESUS you speak of?
Posted by Rod Neufeld on March 12, 2015
The big question, we hear talk of spirituality and the word “god” thrown around. Let’s face it, most of the world not only doesn’t really understand what we as Christians believe neither do they realize that what we know is true has been revealed to us. They have ideas but don’t truly know. We are in a...
Winning the War on Terror
Posted by Rod Neufeld on March 4, 2015
There is a lot of killing and terrorizing going on in this world, we need to be reminded as a child of God this is not our home we are just passing through we are now Heaven bound and we should want everyone to be as well. Those that seek control through war and terror don’t understand that this...
Jesus Died for All
Posted by Rod Neufeld on February 25, 2015
Who did Christ die for? It’s a simple question, we answer quickly with our lips. How do we answer with our actions though? For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16 KJV) Here it is, the 6th word gives it away “...
