A Meditation on Disappointment

November 11, 2022 Dave

Wednesday morning I looked at the election results and felt the sorrow of knowing a majority of voting Michiganders chose to legalize the murder of children. As I wrestled with the deep disappointment of unanswered prayers, deranged voters and ruinous wickedness my mind went to the book of Habakkuk. The prophet Habakkuk saw wicked men…… Continue reading A Meditation on Disappointment

How do we grow the church?

October 21, 2022October 21, 2022 Dave

How do we grow Manistique Bible Church? The answer to that question is simple and directly related to the purpose of the church. The purpose of the church is to glorify God. God has defined two primary functions by which the church brings Him glory. In the church we edify one another. Believers gather together…… Continue reading How do we grow the church?

The General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn

October 7, 2022October 7, 2022 Dave

Attending church is more than a physical act. Participation in the local church is a God given means of Christian growth. As a result, faithful church attendance is more than dredging up the physical discipline to get out of bed on Sunday morning. The church is a gift from God and church attendance is a…… Continue reading The General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn

One Another One Another

September 30, 2022September 30, 2022 Dave

The New Testament contains several dozen “one another” statements. These phrases summarize the Christian’s relationships with other Christians. They are a point by point description of what is involved in edifying other believers. The phrase “one another” can be turned into a verb. Thus, Christian’s ought to “one another” one another. Each Christian ought to…… Continue reading One Another One Another

Make Ministry Personal

September 23, 2022September 23, 2022 Dave

Everyone knows the pastor has an obligation to care for the spiritual well being of the people in the church. Not every knows the individual members of the church have an obligation to care for each other’s spiritual well being. Each Christian is responsible to minister to the believers around him. A Christian must not…… Continue reading Make Ministry Personal

The Heart is Where the Home Is

September 16, 2022September 16, 2022 Dave

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. Colossians 3:16 Home is the single place one calls his own. Home is where the tired laborer goes at the end of the day. Home is where the jetsetting businessman returns over and over again. The opposite is, of course, homelessness. One goes…… Continue reading The Heart is Where the Home Is

Love that Binds

September 2, 2022September 2, 2022 Dave

The human body is made up of over 200 bones tied together by tendons and ligaments. Skin and muscle surround the bone, giving the skeletal framework a substance and grace that would otherwise be lacking. The bones provide the framework on which all the tissues sit The bones give strength and stability to the entire…… Continue reading Love that Binds

How to Get Along with Other Christians

August 26, 2022August 26, 2022 Dave

One of the greatest challenges the church- any church- faces is unity. Church history is littered with the corpses of churches killed by strife. Unity in the church is such a serious matter that God gives strong warning to those who would cause division between believers. Proverbs 6:16-19 says that God hates the one who…… Continue reading How to Get Along with Other Christians

The Strength of the Church

August 19, 2022August 19, 2022 Dave

Stephen Charnock wrote an excellent tome on “The Existence and Attributes of God.” This work is full of rich truth of great benefit to the Christian. For your edification I am going to periodically post heavily edited excerpts from Charnock’s writings on the goodness of God. “In the deliverance of his church He is the…… Continue reading The Strength of the Church

A Greater Life

August 5, 2022August 5, 2022 Dave

Do not think of death as something to be experienced once, sometime down the road of life. Death is present in every person. Those without Jesus are dead in trespasses and sin. They are dead in the lusts of the flesh and dead in bondage to sin. Without Jesus all are dead under the law…… Continue reading A Greater Life
