“Why Do We Love?”

Written by Samantha Steinke for her school newspaper, Christian Life Chronicle Have you ever asked the question “Why do we love?” I know that I have. I’ve asked myself time and time again why I feel the way I do about certain people. Quoting from Jane Austin’s book, Sense and Sensibility, “Is love a fancy or a feeling?” We all have people in our lives that we love in one way or another, whether they are a close family member,…

Important Building Update

Dear Church, After renting the Shelia Daniels Academy for over seven years, the opportunity is upon us to purchase the building! Pastor Harry Stackhouse of The Sign of the Dove has contacted me and indicated that they would like the sale to happen quickly.

Prayer for Illinois

January 29, 2009 marked a sad day for the state of Illinois ~ her first impeachment of a governor.   Though some would say, “It’s finally over; now we can get on with business,” in our anxiousness to resume state government let’s not underestimate the grievousness of these events.   As God’s people, we do grieve over the sins of mankind, especially because we know our own sinfulness.  Now, as our new governor asks for our prayers, may we do just that–…
