What, would you say, is water worth? There’s no question that, as an element necessary for life, it is of great value. And yet, its prevalence on earth makes it relatively inexpensive. On a rainy day it’s even free. There are, however, versions which do fetch a higher price. The bottled variety, for example. A… Read More »Month Archive Read More

Read: 1 Kings 18:1-39 From its inception, the nation of Israel was intended to be a people through whom God’s Covenant Promise was to shine forth.

“Is it okay to use music by groups such as Casting Crowns or Mercy Me in our worship services?”

Written by James Albrecht | August, 2017
Post Categories: I'm Glad You Asked,Series,
Post Tags: Casting Crowns,Mercy Me,music by groups such as Casting Crowns or Mercy Me in worship services?,
There is incredible freedom in the New Testament Church. We are not bound to a certain style of music nor a particular type of worship service. Our brothers and sisters overseas are not required to use page five in The Lutheran Hymnal or page twelve in the Worship Supplement. Nor are we. But what is… Read More »Month Archive Read More

Stambaugh, Michigan, began as a mining town.

Soon there was a rush of activity, and numerous mines were in operation by 1910. The earliest mines were… Read More »Month Archive Read More
