Which do you prefer?

Randal asked if we have a sense of humor. I’ve been told I have a good one. I love humor and can’t resist it. I have funny thoughts running through my head most of the time. I have what is called a dry sense of humor that can be described as observational. I can usually [...]

First off, do you have a sense of humor?

A Series of lessons written by Ron Thomas

Feb. 12, 2012 Highway Church of Christ Bulletin.   This is the   congregation where  Bro. Ron Thomas  is the  Preacher.

The Old Cowboy offering of today is a little longer, however it is a true story from out of my past, which is true of 95% of the things I write each day. Yes, I do quote some others on my posts from time to time. In recent conversations I have spoken both in person [...]

The question that the religious leaders asked Jesus is the same question that many should ask today. Unfortunately, unlike Jesus, many today tire of the question! “By what authority do you do these things? And who gave you this authority?” It seems to me an appropriate set of questions to ask. However, it also seems [...]

I want to talk about a strange brand of hypocrites who hate children. Well, that’s not exactly true. They only hate other people’s children. Let me explain. Trevor and Jasmine are married and they have two children, a nine year-old boy and a seven year-old girl. They love their children more than life itself and they [...]

A sad story illustrates some important spiritual lessons.

Answering nudges effectively! :) [seriously, I'm with Chad on this one]

What makes someone a hero? Retired naval officer Charles Coughlin of Severna Park, Maryland was rewarded this moniker after helping rescue fellow workers following the 9/11 terrorist attack of the Pentagon. However, he was recently sentenced to 3 ½ years in prison for defrauding the 9/11 victim’s fund. He had received $331 thousand from the [...]

12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is enough for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” So then, I will boast most gladly about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may reside in me.

It was kind of neat the other day, when Dad was being moved from the hospital to the rehabilitation facility, when we found out that the transfer officer was a distant cousin of his. She started by asking if Dad was kin to certain people to whom she was also related. I was glad before [...]

Goals. I wonder if this year will go by as fast as 2011? I’m always grateful for 3in30, and the small steps toward a better me it brings, and even some little victories. Drink more water. I am probably not drinking much water for most people’s average, but I am making it a priority and [...]

I have no idea what to call this topic, but “People and Places” sounded pretty good. That’s what I’ll be talking about today, people and places. My husband, son, and myself spent a day yesterday at Freed-Hardeman University in Henderson, Tennessee. We all went to college there, and it was wonderful to be back on [...]

The “plan my own curriculum” was going well-until I realized I didn’t have hours every weekend to hunt my own curriculum down. The library searches, the endless planning, and the sore behind. Stuck in the chair. And then, I was doing an internet search, about Indians, mind you, and I stumbled on this- Something I [...]

I went to Joplin last year after the tornado and was planning on writing about the trip when I returned, but couldn’t. Every time I sat down to write, I found myself staring at a blank Word document trying to find the right words. Damage, destruction, obliteration- those just don’t seem to cut it. Don’t know their last names but this picture was taken on Jim […]

One of our church members gave us a simple gift 5 years ago when my husband and I renewed our vows. It was her cracker candy, which is simple, yet addictive. Line a sheet pan with foil, and then saltines {I hate saltines, but adore the candy btw}. You will need to break a few [...]

By Kevin Williams Forgiveness is a biblical doctrine with which we are all familiar. We understand that we need forgiveness when we sin. We know that Jesus is the One Who provided the only means by which we can be forgiven, His blood that was shed on the Cross. And, we are fully aware that we receive full pardon from our sins when we contact [...]

I love how creative my children are-and that their time and energy aren’t wasted on hours of homework each evening. I adore homeschooling.

A former missionary colleague remembers Bill Jordan and tells a story of his heart attack on the field.

An Oklahoma preacher records his efforts to encourage a congregation to work against abortion.

Young preacher makes the jump to using a digital Bible.

ERIE, Penn. (BNc) — On Jan. 26, Donald Keith Turner (known among churches of Christ by his alias, Don L. Wood) was sentenced to five years imprisonment, three years of supervised release, and restitution to the IRS of $408,034. He was convicted by jury trial at Erie, Penn., Sept. 15, 2011, for conspiring to defraud [...]

I recall when my siblings and I were growing up there would be some legs aches.  We played hard and slept hard.  We experienced what might be called growing pains. We have been laboring in Iringa for one year.  On our very first visit I remember counting 10 adults and 10 children – an attendance . . . → Read More: Growing PainsShare and Enjoy • Fa […]
