NEW YORK (AP) — Sarah Palin has a new book coming, this time about Christmas. The former Republican vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor has a deal with HarperCollins for "A Happy Holiday IS a Merry Christmas," scheduled for November. HarperCollins announced Monday that the book will criticize the "over-commercialism" and "homogenization" of Christmas and call for a renewed emphasis on the religious importance. "Amidst the fragility of this politically correct era, it is imperative that we stand up for our beliefs before the element of faith in a glorious and traditional holiday like Christmas is marginalized and ignored," Palin said in a statement released t…

I am so excited! We are starting a Creation Club in our town. I am not going to be able to be actively involved in it as I would like, because it starts at the same time our nursing home meeting ends. I will be able to make it to the last part of most of the meetings, though. I am doing the publicity for it, so at least I'm involved in that way. It all began as a quest for a birthday party for my friend's two daughters. What my friend wanted to do was have a party where creation and the gospel could be presented and just invite a whole host of people (especially kids from the girls' classes at school). So, we tweaked it a bit. Instead of a party, it's a Snakes Al…

Harlem Shake? Has anyone ever heard of this before? City Church Harlem Shake Spin Now with 'light sabers" in an Arkansas church! Wiki is the only place I could find any text on this. As rediculous as this is, I was not surprised. The only shaking at a local church I attend will be shaking hands.

Actually, according to the Biblical definition, we are supposed to be liberal...pay close attention to the 3:25 and 4:11.

Tonight was the first time in many weeks I've been well enough to attend church. I barely made it to the end and we left early because of me and did not fellowship afterwards. It was good to be there and the preaching was tops, I've been missing my pastors and church family. Praise God though that the grand-parents of one of my daughter's classmate and friend were scripturally baptized after coming forward last week. We'd prayed for their salvation often over the years and now they're gloriously saved by God's grace! Amen!

The World It’s a tough world out there. It will either harden you, or drive you closer to the Lord, depending on which way you run! Yes, it is important that you run in the right direction; we have enough of those “hard cases“; we have enough lawlessness and ungodliness to suit us, and more than enough. When trials come, (and they come to all alike), we have no hope--no help but in Jesus. It behooves us to fall upon his grace and trust him to carry us through the trials. This is not easy for the natural man to do, but it is extremely important that he do it; you might say “it is a matter of life and death!” the urgency of the matter, and the futility of relyi…

This is what Jesus looks like now! Think of him like this when you pray. Revelation 1:10 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. 12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment d…

Most of us are taught from childhood to respect and obey the law. On the whole, Americans are law-abiding people. This is only fitting for a nation that was built on the principles of law. Remember, at our core, this is supposed to be a “nation of laws, not men.” This is one reason that our Founding Fathers bequeathed us a republic and not a democracy. Unfortunately, it has been over one hundred years since America’s teachers (both secular and sacred) have taught the principles of Natural Law. This has created a vast ignorance that has blinded people (especially Christian people it seems) from being able to properly understand, evaluate, and judge the law. Our Lord pl…

Today the wife & I made the trip to the VA hospital at Shreveport, it wears me out. Amazing, I remember a time when I drove cross country back in the 70's & 80's, I would leave out here in Arkansas & in about 26 to 38 hours I would be on the west coast, generally taking a nap before getting unloaded at about 7:00 AM in the morning. Now a little bitty trip like this wears me out. Any way I should be getting a hearing aids with Tinnitus masker's come mid March, that when it should come in. Don't really know what to expect except that it will take a lot getting use to & adjusting to. I guess i will find out if I'm one that can adjust to using them, or do …

The Crucifixion of Jesus Psalm 22:1-31 1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? 2 O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. 3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. 4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. 5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. 6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. 7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, 8 He trusted…

Its easy to find atrocities because most humans follow the Devil, Satan, Lucifer, prince of the power of the air, who is God's number 1 arch enemy, & he has been at it every since God threw him out of Heaven. Isaiah 14:12,13,14 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought dow…

A “Jehovah’s Witness” (Russelite), once told me that the apostles never claimed that Jesus was God; God never made such a claim; neither did Jesus Himself claim to be God, nor the prophets. Hence this study came about. Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Heb 1:10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of…

Not many days ago I cleaned out my martins houses. A few days ago Linda & I both thought we may have seen a martin, but are not sure. But today we did see at least 2 pair as we returned home after church services. Its always great to see them return, a big sign that spring time is not far off. I believe last year we did not see one until March. They are such a happy birds, their songs are so cheerful, & they fly so graceful through the air catching & eating many insect. For the next few weeks they will work very hard building their nest for raising their young. And after they hatch out both the father & mother will work endless trying to keep their babi…

Paul’s warning to you who say the church has replaced Israel Romans 11:11-27 11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. 15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, w…

Many times I've heard the question as follows... If you could only have one book of the Bible which one would it be and why? I don't like that question, so here is my revised question... If you could only have five books of the Bible which ones would they be and why? My five would be Genesis, Isaiah, Matthew, Romans, and Revelation (not in any order of preference). The why comes later. Anyone else care to play along?

The term "false teachers" gets used a lot but what is an accurate definition of a false teacher? This may seem like a strange question, but I've heard a very wide variety of views on this over the years, all the way from virtually most all pastors falling into that category to very few. What does it take for someone to truly be considered a false teacher?

Christian: It's time to vote with your feet I confess right out of the gate that this column is not going to be enjoyable for me to write. It may not be enjoyable for some to read. But the time has come that it has to be said. If Christians truly have any intentions of helping to preserve liberty for their children and grandchildren, they must put rhetoric, tradition, friendship, and personal feelings aside and take action. Christian: it is time to vote with your feet. And while many people who never darken the doors of a church love to cast stones at preachers and churches, I have been in the Gospel ministry all of my adult life. I have pastored for over 37 years. I …

Is anyone familiar with this book? It's written by a Baptist but I can't seem to find out if he uses the KJB in the book or not.

As far as I remember, if a divorced man was a Christian, before coming to Christ or after, could not be a deacon, teacher, or preacher. Has this changed? and is it OK for divorce Preachers give marriage counseling classes to a family in need, of counseling. -

Haha, sounds like you’re doing all the hard work! If only you were a pastor, right? Then you could just preach, shake hands, and have all the free food show up. But for now, it looks like your wife is keeping you busy with all that car washing and laundry folding! 😄 -

I understand that. The real issue for me would be if someone added something to the Bible and claimed it as part of the Word of God. Anything else is just there for helps. For the record, I won't be buying a Trump Bible either. -

We do not currently have a Sunday Evening Service. Working a full-time job takes up a lot of my resources, but the goal is to have a Sunday Evening Service one day. -
By BrotherTony · Posted
The church we're members of didn't have evening service, rather they had several small groups. Since the Wuhan Flu the church has stopped all small groups. On most Sunday evenings they have choir practice for a choir we NEVER use. It's been a royal mess since 2020.
