Would You Treat Your Guests Like This?
Some guests visit our assembly. Upon their arrival, we barely notice them. Perhaps we nod or grunt a “hello” in their direction.

Will Robots Change Our Spirituality?
Last week, David O’Hara published a piece titled, “How Robot Priests Will Change Human Spirituality.” He explores the interesting question of what to do when someone makes a machine that is actually intended to play the role of a preacher or function in a ministerial role.

The Impact of God’s Word
On the first Lord’s day of the year, it is always useful to consider a topic that will help us to start the new year off in a good way, and there is no better topic than the word of God. God’s word is designed to have an impact on those who hear, study, believe, and […]
