What is Your Standard?

    I've always had this thought in my head, but I've never quite been able to put it into words. Then my Pastor, David Cialini, said it perfectly in his message last Sunday night. He basically said, As the world becomes more wicked, we are not to stay the same distance from it, we are supposed to get further away. And that's exactly it! Even though the world is getting worse and worse, it doesn't mean we can! We are not to measure ourselves by the world's standards (I am not as bad as them) but we are to measure ourselves by Christ! We are called to be Christlike, not unlike the world. If we are Christlike, we will be unlike the world, but if we are not like the world, it doesn't necessarily mean we are Christlike. 

    

    So, what are you measuring yourself by? The world or Christ?

    True. If we stayed the same distance from the world as they grow worse and worse, it would still be conforming – simply at a slower rate.

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!

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...
