Something to Prove

 “Something to Prove”

This month's devotional comes from Pastor David Cialini from Heritage Baptist Church in Palmyra, N.Y.

 

1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

 

Do you ever feel like you will never measure up? Well, let me be clear—you never will. So, you might as well stop worrying about it. Thankfully Jesus has perfectly measured up on my behalf!  That’s awesome!  Only the truth of the Gospel can free me from the fear of being found unworthy. The truth is that I can never do anything to make me worthy of the Father’s acceptance and affection.  Know this—I am not in the ministry because, by my own effort, I became a shining example of all that the Gospel can produce.  That’s a joke! I’m so thankful that I have been freed from the bondage of trying to convince myself and others that I am worthy! Jesus has already accomplished what is impossible for me.  I have been accepted, and I have been called into the ministry. I have earned neither.  Both are gifts of His grace.  I come to the ministry with nothing to prove but this: the Gospel of Jesus Christ is reliable and true and has the power to both free and transform you and me!

The Return of Lester Holmes

It's here!! After many months of much hard work by many people, it's finally done! Thank you to everyone who acted, played, sang, filmed, edited, worked behind the scenes and so many more things! Thank you especially for those of you who had to redo scenes due to me forgetting to turn on the mic on the camera...thankfully it didn't turn out to be a silent film.  We all hope you enjoy the movie (sorry, short film, ha-ha)! Let us know what you think.      And on top of that, today marks 2 years of TEEN CHALLENGE!

Right or Left?

                                                         by Joshua R. Walter of Versailles, Kentucky            Left or Right? You choose. I just wanted to warn you.  “And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.  And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. And he went on his journeys from the south even to Beth-el, into the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Hai; into the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD. And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell tog...
