From the Pastor's Pen
“Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation!

“Do not curse the king, even in your thought; Do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom; For a bird of the air may carry your voice, and a bird in flight may tell the matter.” – Ecclesiastes 10:20 “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully…
“These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.” – Acts 17:11 “And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of…
