Several years ago when the Wugmumps were here, a typical toddler conversation took place. Wugmump told Wee Wugmump that they would have popcorn and a movie after supper. Wee Wugmump, for whatever reason, didn’t believe big sister, and she said, “Nuh-uh!” Wugmump nodded with all the wisdom a kindergartener can…
HYMN DAY! “Holy, Holy, Holy”… Reginald Heber penned these words in 1826! And they continue to bless us and inspire us today. Holy…set apart for a special purpose. Nothing and no one can take God’s place. He is perfect in power, love, and purity, and He longs to be your…
I cannot make sense of the theory that the earth and the living organisms on it “just happened.” I’m a creative person. Give me a lump of play-doh and I can make just about any animal. I really like making elephants. No idea why. But in order to “build” an…

If someone denies that Jesus Christ is the sinless Son of God, sent to earth to die on the cross for the salvation of mankind and then rise again, conquering death forevermore, then it is our obligation to speak in His defense. To deny Jesus is to reject Him, which…
When our forefathers crafted the document that would guide the United States of America as a new country, they insisted on religious freedom. In their previous homeland, they’d either suffered or been witness to persecution for disagreeing with the Church of England’s teachings. They wanted the people of this new…
