  • Pastor's Corner

    Jun 24, 2020

    A MAN AFTER GOD’S HEART David was called by God “a man after God’s own heart”. I like to read about David because he was a person who knew and understood God. Many of the things David writes about had not yet come to pass when David wrote them. He was ahead of his times because He actually knew God and was not just writing from his own feelings and problems. Yes, he did write some of those feelings and problems in the Psalms, but his conclusion was always that God was in control and that God was the only hope he had. Turn with me to Psalm 24 an...

If we wanted to sketch, say, the religion of Italians, we would have to decide if we meant in 300 BC, 400AD, 1500AD, or exactly when, because practices, even gods, changed over time. When anthropologists talk about traditional Crow religion, they mean as formed during the time period, 1725-1770, during which their culture changed radically, due to ...? This is a quiz to see who remembers...
