A continued quest on the road of discipleship. Show and Tell is a follow-up to "In It for Life" series. As I put together my thoughts, ideas, and references for this book, I was focused on the two things that were to become the title; show and tell. I have come to believe that God's Word tells us over and over that the Christian life and lifestyle is not only different from the world, but that those differences ought to show in our thinking, our feelings, and our actions. If the changes God desires and expects in us are not happening maybe we ought to "test ourselves to see if we are in the...

This is a study of Scripture as it relates to the "Kingdom of God." Throughout this study I attempt to answer and keep track of two things; First, which Kingdom the scripture is relating to; (It speaks to us of four.) And second, what is the scripture saying to us about that kingdom? We might compare the Kingdom of God to a tulip bulb. If you hold a tulip bulb in your hand, you hold a tulip. The tulip is hidden inside the bulb. But, you cannot find it by cutting the bulb apart. You must plant it and allow it to grow. In the same way, God planted the seed of the Kingdom in the earth of human...

It is not easy to be "clay" in the potter's hands. Change makes us fearful and we can't always see ourselves revolving into something new or different.

From the Pastor's Desk is a collection of the many insightful Christian messages and articles Rev Fred has written over the years of ministry. You will be inspired as well as enlightened as you grow in your knowledge of God.

Once again Rev Fred takes us on a journey in his quest for discipleship series. This time we learn from the many teachings that follow the use of the word "Therefore." Used most often by the Apostle Paul in his writings to the churches, which we call the Epistle letters, the word was also used quite often by Jesus himself. This book takes a look at what is said previous to the word, as well as what follows the word, and gives us a very interesting study by which to further our growth into God's Word as well as our personal growth as Christians.
