In Exodus 32 we read of the incident of the golden calf. In Moses’ absence the people called upon Aaron to “make us gods, which shall go on before us” (Exod. 32:1). Aaron then called for the golden earrings and “fashioned” it with a graving tool, after he had made it molten calf (Exod. 32:4). “And when Aaron saw it, he built an alter before it; and Aaron set down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play”…

There is nothing we need more greatly in the church of the Lord than a proper arranging of priorities. God has always demanded first place in the lives of His people (Exodus 20:36; Matt. 22:37; 6:33). In fact, with God, it is first place or no place.

Listen as he says, “that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil”…

I thank God for faithful members of the Lord’s church who have the ability to write well. When a thoughtful article sent my way I cannot help but share it’s contents with you. This article, because of it’s simplicity, yet is one that drives home what we are trying to do here at the Needmore Road congregation. The background to what I am writing is from Neal Pollard, who penned his article in 2007 but it remains valuable in 2026.…

Wow! There is a lot that is changing around us! Changes are taking place in our government, with our leaders and our system of laws. Changes are taking place in our culture, with what is considered appropriate and what is tolerated. What was once considered a God‐fearing nation (to some extent) now seems like a God‐hating nation. Changes are taking place in our homes, in our schools, in our jobs, in everything around us. All of these changes sure create…
