Humbly Follow His commands

Article for November 26, 2025, Thanksgiving Deuteronomy 8:1  1 “The whole commandment that I command you today you shall be careful to do, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land that the Lord swore to give to your fathers. Let us take this as a statement made to each of us who fear and love the Lord.  The commands are still the same and are augmented by the great commands given to us by Jesus Christ our Lord to which He tells us to love the Lord our Go

Why are Coming to Church?

Article for November Isaiah 1:12–14  12 “When you come to appear before me, who has required of you this trampling of my courts?  13 Bring no more vain offerings; incense is an abomination to me.  New moon and Sabbath and the calling of convocations— I cannot endure iniquity and solemn assembly.  14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates; they have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. Do you go to church?  Good.  Do you come to worship God and re
