  • When death loses, Jesus wins

    On Oct. 26, a woman named Terri married the man of her dreams, and on Nov. 12, her new husband, Mike, went in for surgery for a lump on his jaw and had 9/10 of his tongue removed.

    Mike is dying from oral cancer, slowly and painfully.

    I’ve been following their saga on Facebook. It is both incredibly sad and filled with sweetness and an ultimate happily-ever-after ending.

    Here are some of Terri’s most recent Facebook posts:

  • Central Baptist sponsors annual Soles4Souls shoe drive

    Central Baptist Church in Lawrenceburg has started its annual Soles4Souls shoe drive to provide shoes to people in need around the world.

    “This is our seventh year,” said Pastor Rick Clark. “Two years ago we passed 10,000 from just this church. Last year we added 3,200 pairs. We are hoping that we can exceed 15,000 total [this year] since we started the collection. The event runs through March 28, and we have received 400 pairs already.”

  • God provides even during a Dickens of a time

    By Nancy Kennedy

    With apologies to Charles Dickens, it truly was the best of times and the worst of times.
       I had just learned I was pregnant with our now 25-year-old daughter. We had wanted another child, and the news was definitely in the best of times category. It remained best and blissful for about a month until the worst of times began.

  • Sin separates us from God; the Gospel brings ‘good news’

    Vince Lombardi famously said, “Winning isn’t everything; it’s the only thing.” Striking comment. But I wish to take Mr. Lombardi’s comment in a different direction; the gospel isn’t everything; it’s the only thing. What do I mean by that? Everything begins and ends with the gospel of Jesus Christ. So what is the “gospel?” The gospel is translated “good news.”

  • Worship is not a spectator sport

    I came across something this week on social media that I think is worthwhile to share.

    “Twelve reasons I don’t go to sporting events anymore.

    1. Every time I went, they asked for money.

    2. The people sitting in my row didn’t act very friendly.

    3. The seats were very hard.

    4. The coach never came to visit me.

    5. The referees made a decision that I didn’t like.

    6. I was sitting with hypocrites. They only came to see what others were wearing.

  • Darkness can only exist when there is no light

    Do you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, even angry when you look around at what

    is happening in our country? Are you shocked and even hurt when you see the political

    race to the bottom unfolding in the media each and every day? I can tell you that I am experiencing all of these emotions.
