Forget Black Friday. Waking up at three in the morning just to wait in line and fight over the last widget in the store. Doesn’t sound like a deal to me! Besides, it’s not even where to find the best stuff this year. I’ll let you in on a little secret – the best stuff [...]

Better known for Halloween in our culture, October 31 marks the anniversary of Martin Luther’s bold and courageous posting of his 95 theses on the Wittenburg Church door in 1517. The dominoes toppled from that point on culminating in what we know as the Protestant Reformation. Last night folks from our church gathered for a [...]

Autism, compassion, Disability, Sensory Processing Disorder
I sit here as a myriad of medical terms flow effortlessly through my fingertips onto the screen. I compose an in-depth handout to share my expertise about Autism and Sensory Processing Disorder.

Like the rest of you, I suspect, Nancy and I have remained glued to the TV the last twenty-four hours watching the horrific images coming out of Japan after the devastating earthquake hit yesterday afternoon.

If you think I’m referring to the big game tomorrow night, think again. In my mind the significance of Super Bowl XLV pales in comparison to the day before us at Orlando Grace tomorrow. In the first place, we get to practice Titus 3:14 – And let our people learn to devote themselves to good [...]

It has been so long since I’ve done a blog post, I’m not certain I remember how to do it! Fortunately our website has returned to the land of the living. Thanks, Greg, for going the extra mile to get us back in service. What better way to return to the blogosphere than by reminding [...]

giving thanks, obedience, spiritual life, thanksgiving
Our confession of faith makes it clear. The giving of thanks comprises an essential component of true worship. Under the heading of Religious Worship, and the Lord’s Day paragraph 3 begins, God requires all men to pray to Him, and to give thanks, this being one part of natural worship.

Not the kind that probably first comes to mind, I can assure you. But I pray for the kind of knitting of soul between brothers that happened between David and Jonathan in 1 Sam. 18:1-5 immediately after David slew Goliath. As soon as he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit [...]
