Dr. David L. Chancey's picture

The upcoming Thanksgiving season prompts me to stop and count my blessings, and many of my blessings are not so much possessions as they are people who have touched my life in a special way. I was reflecting this week about attending Ruth Hinchey’s funeral back in July, and about the impact she and her husband Roy had on my life.

Sally Oakes: Lessons in the stew

Sally Oakes's picture

Did you ever agree to do something before you realized how hard it would be? This is one of those times for me. During a planning meeting for our upcoming (Sat, Nov. 3) Perlieu Stew, one of the planners asked me to mention it in my column. I said, “Sure!” Now, as I sit to write the column, which is to be a religious column that I pray inspires people and draws them closer to Christ, I’m wondering how to make Perlieu Stew inspiring for the sake of the Gospel. Other than being a fund raiser for the Christian mission, there’s not too much about it that could qualify as “religious.”

Dayne Massey: Does God want me healed?

Dayne Massey's picture

The subject of healing in the Bible is one that many have quarreled over for centuries. It’s always amazed me how people will fight and argue to stay sick.

Many of the questions and arguments have arisen as a result of people failing to receive healing from God. If God wanted people healed, wouldn’t He just heal them? If it were God’s will to heal everyone, then why do good Christian people die of sickness? Doesn’t God sometimes use sickness to get our attention and teach us valuable lessons? One thing is for sure, there are answers to all of these questions, and the answer is always found in the Word of God.
