		<description><![CDATA[As I reflected on the recent holiday season, I meditated on the person of Jesus Christ—God’s gift to us. I thought about His birth; His death and resurrection; and how God, by His merciful and loving grace, bestowed upon me the faith to believe in Him for salvation (Ephesians 2:8). And, that efficacious belief in [...]]]></description>

If we receive an answer, we will accept it, even if the answer is unfavorable to our liking. At least we have an answer! But, when we are given two apparent contradictory answers and yet both are truthful, it’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the last few months health issues have prohibited me from attending the worship service on a consistent basis. In fact, my attendance at all church functions has been sparse; and this has greatly saddened me. But, during this trial, God has mercifully lavished upon me bountiful grace, and for this reason, I consider myself [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Pastor Pauley taught recently from Acts 15:36-41, I found myself contemplating the significance of those passages, even as he thoroughly covered the text. In it we read that a “sharp” disagreement arose between the Apostle Paul and Barnabas regarding bringing along John Mark on their second missionary journey. Paul didn’t want to bring Mark [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[…Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness (Genesis 15:6; Romans 4:3; James 2:23). In other words, Abraham was granted salvation by faith through God’s graciousness. By faith, Abraham believed in the promises God had made to him, even though those promises seemed inconceivable! Many theologians believe Genesis 15:6 is the verse [...]]]></description>

The satisfaction from helping a fellow believer is not only rewarding to the soul, but is a blessing from God. However, if you do not know the Word of God, it can prove a daunting task.

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, Pastor Pauley taught on how the early church encouraged one another in regards to living a Christian life. He urged us to follow the same paradigm they had demonstrated in the book of Acts. Encouragement can be administered to fellow believers for a variety of reasons and in a variety of different ways.

So, we are not at all alarmed when the Gospel message of Jesus Christ is offensive or divisive to others. To the rest of the world, especially other religions, the exclusivity [...]]]></description>
