COMMENT As I glanced over the Beautiful Christian Life January monthly newsletter (attached), I tried to remember the last time I seriously thought about Holiness.

Have you noted, though, that the same group seems free to launch into a flurry of insults and false innuendo with no repercussions. While these two articles … More When “John 3:16” Becomes a Crime – 12/29/2025

Christmas 2025

FSMandFSMWO prays your hearts are filled with the joy and peace that only comes from our risen Savior, whose birth we celebrate this Christmas. MacArthur’s quote is especially relevant today.

Devotional – “Christian Music” – 10/29/2025

Most folks today think “Christian music” is anything they can hear on stations like K-love or SiriusXM. Many churches have full rock bands that get the blood and emotions pumping.
