Instead, be kind to one another, tender-hearted, graciously forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has graciously forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32 When counseling a young couple before they get married, or a couple experiencing issues in their marriage, I have them read David Paul Tripp’s book, Marriage & Gospel Commitment Every Couple Needs to Make. In the book, he lays out six commitments that all couples should make to one another. The very first commitment is, “We w

Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. Matthew 24:9 There has never been a more pronounced divide (outside of the Civil War) in our country between good and evil. There is one party that demands that women have the right to murder their babies in the womb up to birth. That same party promotes the physical and chemical mutilation of children. They refer to this as “gender affirming care.” In our go

“Give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good; For His lovingkindness endures forever.” Psalm 118:1

“I love Yahweh, because He hears My voice and my supplications.” Psalm 116:1

And He was saying, “Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.” Mark 14:36 We Americans take pride in who we are. When we see the word surrender, it’s not something we think of as positive. Surrender is what our enemies have always done. We think of the Alamo, where 250 men, including Davey Crockett, William Travis, and James Bowie, fought to the last man rather than surrender. The ancient Spartans, mothers

When He killed them, then they sought Him, and returned and sought earnestly for God; And they remembered that God was their rock, and the Most High God their Redeemer. Psalm 78:34-35 Some think that David wrote all of the Psalms. David is credited with writing 73 of the 150 psalms, about half of the Book of Psalms. It’s possible that David wrote more psalms without titles, but since the inspired text doesn’t name him for those, we can only be sure about the 73. Psalm 78 was

I shall remember the deeds of Yah; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old. I will meditate on all Your work and muse on Your deeds. Psalm 77:11-12 On September 2, 2006, the GHBC Charter was signed by 21 people (10 families). Of those 21, 9 original charter members remain: Betsy Adkins, Austin Cox, Tom and Penni Cox, Crystal Hix, Steve and Sheila Worley, and Mark and Cathy Wells. As we remember what God has done over the past 19 years, let us rejoice and celebrate what has

And they went out and preached that men should repent. And they were casting out many demons and were anointing with oil many sick people and healing them. Mark 6:12-13 Years ago, I heard John MacArthur say, “The greatest danger to the church is not the world, it’s not the government, it’s not the occult. The greatest danger to the church is the false teacher who stands in the pulpit.” False teachers can blend in very well. In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus sent out the 12 (Judas

And by this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. 1 John 2:3 Have you ever wondered how you can know if you are saved? There are many people in the world today who have a false sense of salvation. They may think that because they prayed and invited Jesus into their hearts as children, they are Christians. Some will point to their baptism as evidence of their salvation. Years ago, a woman was talking to one of our pastors about her son, with whom
