We Cant All Be Right

Posted on August 13th, 2011 by Pastor Craig Houston

“The Christian and the Materialist hold different beliefs about the universe. They can’t both be right. The one who is wrong will act in a way which simply doesn’t fit the real universe.”  C.S. Lewis

Excerpt from “Saving Leonardo” by Nancy Pearcey

Loved Reading – Loving the Little Years

Posted on August 10th, 2011 by Pastor Craig Houston

As a father of 11 children I found this little book, “Loving the Little Years” by Rachel Jankovic and Nancy Wilson to be an absolute delight! Well written and filled with practical advice, but not in the ten things you should do kind of way. Rather this book deals with the essence of discerning parenting, with a heart to help your children grow into gracious, bold, Godly adults. In almost every experience that was shared I could whole heartily relate, saving the ones that only a mother could have, but even then I know my wife had walked those paths before.

As a pastor, I plan on getting this helpful resource into the hands of as many young parents in our church family as possible.

“SAVING LEONARDO” Already a Must Read!!!

Posted on July 20th, 2011 by Pastor Craig Houston

I have just finished the first chapter of “Saving Leonardo: A Call to Resist the Secular Assault on Mind, Morals, and Meaning”. It is already easy to tell that it is a must read for every Christian who desires to raise up a generation that is not duped by the secular ideologies that are pervasive in our culture.  I know some may think it premature to give such a hearty endorsement, but I have flicked through the rest of the chapters and also have great confidence in the work and Worldview of Nancy Pearcey who is also the author of “Total Truth” and “How Now Shall We Live” just to name a few.  Trust me, you need to read this book!!!

Unfashionable

Posted on June 11th, 2011 by Pastor Craig Houston

The great guide of the world is fashion and its god is respectability- two phantoms at which brave men laugh! How many of you look around on society to know what to do? You watch the general current and then float upon it! You study the popular breeze and shift your sails to suit it. True men do not so! You ask, “Is it fashionable? If it is fashionable, it must be done.” Fashion is the law of multitudes, but it is nothing more than common consent of fools.   Charles Spurgeon

Rest a while!

Posted on May 31st, 2011 by Pastor Craig Houston

“And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.” Mark 6:31

I thought of these words of Jesus to His disciples while enjoying a much needed vacation with my family. Jesus desires to restore our strength physically, spiritually, and emotionally. We just need to trust Him enough to come apart and rest a while and let Him handle everything while we are gone.
