An Exhortation to Elders, part 3

July 9, 2012

Spiritual eldership is a sobering and serious responsibility for God-called and God-gifted men to serve God’s church in God’s way for God’s glory. We must evaluate our heart and ministry in light of the certainty of the coming of Jesus Christ

An Exhortation to Elders (cont)

July 8, 2012

Love for the Lord will motivate elders to imitate the care of the Good Shepherd. God directed his people as a flock, leading them through the wilderness. So too, Jesus leads his sheep going before them. The elder-shepherd is not a cowboy, driving his flock like cattle. He leads them as a shepherd would, walking on ahead

A Super Clash of Kingdoms

January 18, 2012

“Somehow, having the building full with people who want to be there for a game, but not for God’s saving service to sinners, is “missional.” In any case, the evening service has fallen by the wayside in many churches anyway—no conflict there. Yet even where there are such services, many sympathize with one pastor who said that it’s “a bit of a luxury,” especially “when it falls on a legal holy day [you read that right: holy day] like Super Bowl Sunday” (Michael Horton).

Calvary Bible Church…Sixty One Years Ago

June 8, 2011

January 1, 1951. Today, the Calvary Bible Church is one year old. Today is our birthday! This day, just one short year ago, the Calvary Bible Church was founded on a Sunday morning, January 1, 1950, in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Curvin (Pat) Crumbling in Martinsville, Pennsylvania, with only thirteen persons in attendance, including the children. Now that a year has passed, it would seem fitting and proper for us all to pause a moment and consider what great things the Lord has done for us!

Why I Love the Local Church

April 17, 2011

I suppose that from my earliest days I remember being involved with the local church. The actual earliest memory that I have of “church things” is sitting near the back of a building on a pew (organ side) and eating a snack of fruit loops or some kind of cereal from a plastic baggie. That is, as honestly as I can say it, my earliest memory of the church. And that was actually in the church I currently serve, Calvary Bible Church.
