IF YOU LOVE GOD… by Adam Miller

There are many in our culture today who claim to love God and yet, they don’t look like the traditional Christian. Instead, they would accuse those of us who follow Jesus’ teachings literally to have ‘missed the plot.’ “Why can’t you just be more loving and kind,” they would claim, “That is what Jesus was […]

THE ROMANS ROAD FOR BELIEVERS by Adam Miller

You may be familiar with the Romans Road to Salvation. If you’re anything like me, it is a well trodden path for sharing your faith. I have the verses ingrained in my memory, and they are always readily available to share on any given notice.  I wonder, however, how often we walk the path through […]

APPRECIATION FOR PASTORS by Adam Miller

For the past three years, I have had the privilege of serving as pastor of South Chatham Community Church. I still consider myself in the honeymoon period. Every week is a reminder that God is blessing the work of our ministry.  However, I know that this is not always the case for most pastors. In […]

YOU BELONG TO GOD by Adam Miller

CONTINUING…TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH by Adam Miller

I remember when I first became a Christian. I was a sold out follower of Christ, a soul winner. Even though I was only six years old, I made sure to witness to all of my friends. If we were having a sleepover, I would wait until the lights were out to warn them about […]

Four Pillars of the Church by Adam Miller

There are several overarching themes worth considering when reading through the Book of Acts. We can explore the expansion of the gospel from Jerusalem through Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth (Luke 1:8). We can note how the gospel was presented differently in various contexts.

Full Reading: Luke 22:68-23:49 Selective Reading: Luke 23:32-43 When I was in high school, I wrote a short narrative, imagining the backstory of the thief who was crucified next to Jesus.
