Halloween is right around the corner with all the positive and negative aspects that go with it. However, there's more to October 31st than meets the eye. 500 years ago, a lone Augustinian monk changed the world by standing up against the powers that be in the church.
Martin Luther nailed the 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, near Berlin. He objected to the use of indulgences to obtain salvation, a method of paying money to obtain an indulgence, forgiveness from the temporal penalty for sins. He argued that we are saved by "grace alone" through "faith alone" by "Christ alone" in the "Scriptures alone." We owe so much to this courageous monk who took a stand for Christ. May we do the same!

What gives you hope? | 3-31-24 | Easter 2024
March 31, 2024 • Dr. Ken Lang • 1 Peter 1:3
Our world needs hope - real hope. Not the kind of hope that comes from our government. Dostoevsky said, "To live without hope is to cease to live." Beloved, that hope we need can only come from Christ. We will overcome because he has overcome. He is risen!!!

John Donne wrote the poem, "No Man Is An Island." It first stanza goes, "No man is an island, Entire of itself; Every man is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. In other words, we belong to each other - we are interconnected like a body." "Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it" (1 Corinthians 12:27)
Don't loose your head!! | 4-7-24 | 2 Samuel 20
April 7, 2024 • Dr. Ken Lang • 2 Samuel 20
A lot of people lose their temper quickly these days - a mistake on the highway, an unintended slight in the store, etc. Solomon said, "A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise person holds it in check." (Proverbs 29:11). The Holy Spirit empowers us to hold back and not lose our heads. Lord help us lower the emotional temperature around us!
