Relationships within the Body

Posted by on Jul 27, 2011 in Devotional, Rev. Serven | Comments Off on Relationships within the Body

One of the most difficult issues in human relationships is forgiving an offense (cf. Gen. 32-33; Prov. 18:19). This is true for unbelievers in the world, and it is also true for believers within Christ’s Church. Christians, though, have a distinct advantage over those who remain in the world—we have the gracious example of the Lord Jesus Christ who forgave us so much (cf. Eph. 4:32; 1 Pet. 2:24-25; 3:18). Beyond that, we also have the Holy Spirit who dwells within each one of us and makes it possible to truly forgive past offenses (cf. 1 Cor....

Posted by on Jun 24, 2011 in Events | Comments Off on CHEF Conference exceeds all expectations!

This year the CHEF Conference (June 21-22, 2011) in St. Charles, Missouri was as wonderful as it ever has been. By the way, C.H.E.F. stands for Christian Home Educators Fellowship. We met at the spacious St. Charles, MO Convention Center. This was a very nice setting for the 1000+ people who attended. Organization & Speakers: The Jon and Candy Summers family and their support team did a superlative job of organizing it, promoting it, and staffing it. The speakers were both challenging and encouraging. We heard rousing presentations from...

A Brief Report–Men’s Advance 2011

Posted by on Mar 22, 2011 in Men's Advance | Comments Off on A Brief Report–Men’s Advance 2011

Group Picture–Men’s Advance (2011) Attendance and Speaking Times: This year we had ninety-seven men and boys attend the Men’s Advance (Feb. 25-26th). I was very pleased with the turnout. Moreover, it was a great privilege for me to work with Dr. Derek Carlsen. He exemplified the doctrine of “Perseverance” through the way in which he met the difficult challenges of his own life—these he related to us with several gripping stories. Especially interesting was his bold and principled stand against tyranny within his native country of...

Men’s Advance–What Are the Talks About?

Posted by on Jan 27, 2011 in Men's Advance | Comments Off on Men’s Advance–What Are the Talks About?

Our 2011 Men’s Advance is now just one month away! Some men who attended the 2010 Men’s Advance recently asked me the question—“What are the talks about this year?” The main theme for this year’s conference is “Perseverance—in your life, in your home, and in God’s kingdom work”. Specifically, we are going to address the importance of perseverance and how it relates to the disciplines and demands of the Christian life, how you can trust in the sufficiency of Scripture to solve broken relationships within your own home, and how you can work...

Why a Men’s Leadership “Advance”?

Posted by on Jan 7, 2011 in Men's Advance | Comments Off on Why a Men’s Leadership “Advance”?

This is a good question and it deserves a thoughtful answer. The reason we call our men’s conference an advance is because as Christians we are determined to not retreat. Instead, we are committed to advance through time with the Gospel of Jesus Christ knowing full well that Christ will be victorious over all of his enemies. It is good for us to reflect upon these Scriptural statements from King David, our Lord, and the Apostles: —Psalm 110:1 “The LORD says to my Lord: ‘Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool’.”...

A Firm Foundation

Posted by on Dec 7, 2010 in Devotional, Theology | Comments Off on A Firm Foundation

What does the Bible say about itself? To me, this is a fascinating subject because it shows the strong foundation that our faith rests upon. Moreover, it is good for us to recall that these are God’s very own words about his book and they demonstrate the self-authenticating nature of the Bible. For example, — Deuteronomy 29:29 “The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.” — Psalm 119:105 “Your Word is a lamp to my...
