Posted on August 29, 2009 by Pastor Mark Kelly

I had opened the package, reached in to pull out my ordered book and was, naturally, greeted with an abundance of catalogs, postcards inviting me to this or that and a short invoice.  Normally all but my ordered materials goes straight into the trash without a second thought.  For some reason (that’s theologese for God [...]

Is God in control?

Posted on August 21, 2009 by Pastor Mark Kelly

Our church was broken into last evening.  Wasn’t God watching out for us?  I mean, we are the ones doing His work…why doesn’t He “have our backs”?  Why the unnecessary difficulty in our lives?  We’re trying to be good, doing the best we can…and this is how He rewards us?  If He is in control, [...]
