The Company We Keep
by Bob Crittenden on October 2nd, 2026
There’s an old saying that a person is known by the company that he keeps. In this day in which our associations could very well be displayed on social media, we have to be extra careful about the people we endorse or even “like” on various platforms. Now, it’s one thing to befriend a person because we want to be a good Christian influence, but we have to guard our own reputation, as well - how we... Read More

Where Do You Find Joy?
by Bob Crittenden on October 1st, 2026
Jesus draws the contrast between what the world offers in terms of satisfaction, peace, and happiness and what a relationship with Him will bring. If we are looking in the wrong direction to bring us the perceived happiness we desire, we are settling for less than the “fullness of joy” that God offers to us. We have to make sure that our lives are correctly prioritized so we experience the springs... Read More

by Bob Crittenden on September 30th, 2026

How "Swede" It Is
by Bob Crittenden on September 28th, 2026
The Bible tells us that the earth belongs to the Lord, and He is intent on making Himself known throughout the whole earth. Now, He does that through the faithfulness of His people, who exhibit a devotion to love and serve Him and to proclaim what He has done. And, He is not limited by time and space - His Word can penetrate the globe. Scripture Passage: Psalm 24:1-6 (ESV)... Read More

A Murderous Spirit
by Bob Crittenden on September 25th, 2026
We live in a fallen world, and the god of this world, the devil, is pertrating evil all around us. We can hold on to the truth that Jesus has defeated Satan because of His death and resurrection from the dead. He has given us the victory of the power of the enemy. But, many will give in, and for that reason, we have to speak the truth and to shine His light in the darkness. Scripture Verse: John 8... Read More

Excuses
by Bob Crittenden on September 22nd, 2026
You can draw a straight line from the evil that resides in the hearts of human beings to the murder of 60 million babies through abortion in America to a set of parents who hired a surrogate, wanted to abort the child due to a heart condition, and desired to allow the child to die once the surrogate chose life. People are making the case that a troubled mother who murdered her three children was j... Read More
