  • An Even Better Resurrection

    Dear Family and Friends, Have you ever sensed that grieving the loss of a child is more profound than grieving the loss of others? The loss of any loved one is hard but the death of a child always breaks hearts. It’s been a tough month for many of us. The young ones lost on

  • Finding Joy In The Workplace

    Dear Family and Friends, One of the most influential writings in the early history of the New Hope Christian Fellowship church was Pastor Wayne’s book, Doing Church As A Team. “Nearby, the drummer played the drums with his usual excellence. He seemed to be playing more with his heart than with drumsticks. That night I said

  • New World – Old Job?

    Dear Family and Friends, Have you ever contemplated what you’ll be doing in Heaven? Cartoons of the past suggested we will play harps while sitting on clouds. Revelation 22:3 NIV says otherwise. “No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants

  • Did God Really Create Work?

    Dear Family and Friends, If the pandemic lockdown had a “silver lining” it would be this lesson: We learned just how much we need each other. Remember the shortages of food and goods we normally take for granted? I recall looking at rows of empty shelves and half-joking to myself – so this is what

  • A New Way To Follow Jesus – All The Time

  • A Suggestion As We Approach 2025

    Dear Family and Friends, A new year is upon us. Already? Do you feel like I do – that the year just started? We’re not alone. Studies show that it’s quite common to “perceive” that the years speed up as we age. Why? A psychology study suggested it’s natural that the amount of information our minds process decrease as

  • Where Have All The Christians Gone?

    Dear Family and Friends, Have you noticed how easy it’s become to avoid contact with other humans? We can work from home. Have all our needs delivered by Amazon and others. Why dress up when restaurants deliver to your door. And since most churches continue to live stream their services, many former church goers have

  • O’er The Land Of The Free…

    Dear Friends and Family, If we had to pick one word that best describes our country, my choice would be Freedom. Our individual freedoms and rights are enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. We sing about our freedom at sporting events – O’er the land of the free… And we argue, fight

  • A Christmas Gift For Your Friends

    Dear Family and Friends, Do you know anyone who stopped going to church? My guess is we all know someone who has. A recently published book cited that one in eight or 40 million Americans stopped attending church in the past 25 years. A recent survey found that 84 percent of the churches in America are shrinking. With that said,

  • Shall We Give Jesus A Gift This Christmas?

    Dear Family and Friends, We braved the crowds and traffic and went shopping this weekend. Have you made your Christmas list? And checked it twice? Did you remember to include Jesus on your list? After all He wasn’t naughty. In fact, He was beyond nice. But does that explain why He received presents for His
