Irreplaceable
King Saul was a bigshot. You know the type. He was muscley, tall, loud, large, and in charge. Sure Israel may have been a comparatively small pond, but Saul was definitely the big fish. Everybody knew him. Most respected him. Some feared him. Somehow, though, things went sideways. Saul got too big for his [...]
Fundamentalist Pharisees
Mark 8:15 “Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees.” As I read the Gospel records of the life and ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am often struck by the way our Lord responded to the questions and teachings of the Pharisees. I find them one of the most striking groups in [...]
It is TIME!
There is not much in the village of Epworth. There are plenty of old buildings. There are quaint little shops for those who like such things. There is a nice little tea room where you can get a light lunch that will not be forgotten. But most people remember this little English village for more [...]
When The Fire Dies (Part 1)
I recently visited a sister church and was saddened by what I sensed there. A church that had once been hot for God seemed to have cooled a little. The people seemed tired and worn, and the vibrancy that once characterized that church seemed lacking. As I pondered this, the Lord brought to mind the [...]
The Gap is Widening
Ezekiel 13:5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD. Ezekiel 22:30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for [...]

By: Nathan D. Jones My wife currently baby-sits a couple of children. Though sometimes it has been challenging trying to control them; we have been able to develop a friendship with the unsaved parents, and both of the children’s mothers have visited our church. Recently one morning the young 4 year old girl that my [...]
Biblical Manhood: A treatise on true masculinity
Man: an adult male person, as distinguished from a boy or a woman. (Online Dictionary) What do you think of when you think of a man? Does John Wayne come to mind, staring frosty eyed at a villain? Perhaps Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone playing Rambo typifies a man for you. But while these popular [...]
Rotten Fruit from Dead Roots
This story about a 13 year old boy in the UK who is the alleged father of a child from a 15 year old girl is making news. While I originally saw it in the National Post, there have been many other outlets that have noted it also. No “Christian Commentators” have yet mentioned this, [...]
Choosing “Unborn” Geese over Unborn Babies?
By Nathan D. Jones, Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, Canada While doing research on another topic, I followed some news links and stumbled across a very disturbing article in The Hour Online, a regional online news outlet in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Apparently in the state of Connecticut there is a growing problem with an iconic symbol of [...]
