Elder Mike Daniels

Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Rev. Alex Diaz

Science is itself a creature and a product of time. It takes its position on the basis of things as they are made and assumes the existence of the things it investigates; from the nature of the case, therefore, science cannot go back to the time when things were not yet. Science cannot penetrate to the moment when they were given reality.

Herman Bavinck

Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Pastor Josh Harp

If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Pastor Josh Harp

The central problem is always in the midst of the people of God, not in the circumstances surrounding them.

Francis Schaeffer

Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost

Pastor Josh Harp

It is not possible in God's nature for him to permit anything in his decree that will terminate in evil. Evil is parasitic. God may use it, but he absolutely does not require it.

Louis Berkhof

Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost

Pastor Josh Harp

Richard Baxter (17th century pastor, theologian and prolific writer): “I am the vilest dunghill worm that ever went to heaven. Lord! What is man; what am I; vile worm to the great God?” When assured by a friend that he had been very blessed by his writings, Baxter replied: “I was but a pen in God’s hands, and what praise is due to a pen?”

Tenth Sunday after Pentecost

Pastor Josh Harp

The vessels of mercy are first seasoned with affliction and then the wine of glory is poured in.

Thomas Watson

Ninth Sunday after Pentecost

Pastor Josh Harp

Concerning the Church’s tension with culture: “The deeper the consciousness of the tension and the urge to take this yoke upon itself are felt, the healthier the Church is. The more oblivious of this tension the Church is, the more well established and at home in this world it feels, the more it is deadly danger of being the salt that has lost its savour.”

Hendrick Kraemer

Eighth Sunday after Pentecost

Pasto Alex Diaz

What notes are to a musician, and what the alphabet is to a reader, and what numerals are to a mathematician, the fear of the Lord is to a wise man.

Bruce K. Waltke

Seventh Sunday after Pentecost

Pastor Josh Harp

We must not only be True. We must be Beautiful.

Francis Schaeffer
