Moving Through Dark Times
Every one has dark times. Times when they feel lost, depressed, alone, mistake ridden and regretful. We can all remember times when we have felt like this. Some of us may be experiencing a state like this right now. There are many prophecies in the Word that predict the coming of the Lord Jesus and describe the state of the world at the time of His coming. One recurring theme throughout these...

Frodo And Thanksgiving
I find the books and consequent movies in the Lord of the Rings trilogy fascinating on many levels. I think there are many strong spiritual lessons within this tale. One lesson, to my mind, is the clear difference between the characters on the good side, specifically Frodo and Sam, and those on the dark side, Sauron and Sauroman. In the movies the landscape of the homeland of Frodo and Sam is...

WatchSermon: What Does The Lord Want From Me?
Task From This Week's Sermon: Humility
Review: We all have the feeling from the Lord that life is our own. We also have the reality, which truth teaches us, that all our life, power, and strength are from the Lord alone. As He teaches, “Without Me you can do nothing.”
Meaning: We are reminded by many stories in the Lord’s Word of how important our attitude is in our spiritual life. There are many references to those who received...

Why Was I Created?
So, why do you think you were created? No, I am not talking about somebody else (stop looking behind you). Why do you think the Creator of the Universe, the all knowing, all powerful, all present God of heaven and earth designed and built you and set you on this earth, at this time in history? Why are you here?
Some in jest like to say things like, “To get everything you can before you get...

Q & A on Love, Family & Parenting
1) How do I know if someone is the one I should marry?
As with any spiritual question you need answered, you need to ask it with your spiritual life in mind. A living commitment to the work of your spiritual life will enable you to recognize when the Lord brings your future marriage partner into your life. Pray that the Lord lead you to your eternal partner and cooperate by being clear to the Lord...

How Our Focus Keeps Us Afloat
Why Go To Church?
One of the battles that many parents face with older children is about going to church on Sundays. I remember as a teen it was a source of internal conflict for me. I wanted to sleep in, but I also felt a tug to attend church. I don’t remember exactly how many times the spirit won out over the flesh, but I do know that forcing myself to make it a habit, over time, made it something I really...

Try A Little Tenderness
Is Evangelization Creepy?
I wanted to speak to the word “evangelization”. I know for some people this word conjures up images of door to door or T.V. evangelists, and Bible beating preachers. Let me assure you that this is not what this is about. The Writings for the New Church give the following meaning for the word evangelization. “By evangelization are meant all things in the Word which treat of the Lord, and all...

Feeling Close To The Lord
Living in or near the mountains presents one with certain electronic difficulties. How often when driving in the mountains and listing to a great song on the radio you go around the bend and the song is infused with a deep crackling static. It fades in and out and soon the station is lost altogether. We have the same problems in trying to talk on cell phones. The call can be dropped or lost...
