Brethren Dwelling in Unity

Greetings, all you Grissom Devotees.  Historic Downtown Grissom, North Carolina, is full of light this afternoon. It is a delectable delight and honor to be here, celebrating the return of Christ, our risen Lord.  Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=138632   Church Behavior, Impulsive Penchant : Churches can jump to conclusions.  It is easier to make a judgment than to beg current indecision, even as people all around press for a conclusion. But, sometimes no immediate conclusion is better.

Rather, we will invest not in any structure beyond the horizons we can see, preferring to send our capital...

Sun, Love, and God

I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when I do not feel like it. I believe in God even when I discover that His judgment allows zero chance for so many of my good friends and loved ones to get into heaven: Those committed to viewing as morally acceptable the celebration of various extra-biblical preferences.  It is sobering to realize that we do not have so much freedom a we may have thought.

So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. 10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. 11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper. 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage. 13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean? 14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the fle...
