by Lee Coleman As many of us watched the disturbing events surrounding the protests and ensuingviolence from Virginia this past weekend, we were horrified by the extreme behavior we witnessed. In this brief blog post by Tim Keller from The Gospel Coalition, he reminds us of our own sinful temptation to take the cause of nationalism, racism, orsuperiority, and the outright...

by Ian Kayser It all started a few years ago while giving my daughter Ruby a back scratch. She wanted to know why my back scratches weren't as good as Harper's back scratches. I told her that its because I bite my nails and Harper doesn't. Ruby asked me to stop biting my nails so I could give her a better back scratch. I said I would try. Then the next back scratch would ...

by Joyce Kokaisel Galatians 6:10 (Amp) James 1:5 (Amp) "Happy indeed is a devoted woman; She is bound to her God securely. She stands firm and is fed from the fountain of faith. She walks in heavenly light and wisdom, accompanied by her Father's revelations. She presents herself and all she cherishes humbly before her God She speaks what is true with courage ...

by Jim McNeer Ephesians 6:2-4 "Honor your father and mother" (this is the first commandment with a promise), "that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land." Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. The last couple of years have been strange at our house. Kim and I have now sent...

by Trey O'Brien I read Isaiah 6:1-8earlier today. You know. Isaiah has a vision of the Lord sitting on His throne. Clearly Isaiah was't bored with God, right? May I ask the last time you had an Isaiah moment? Can you remember? Me neither.Actually, I've had many moments in which I felt the nearness of the Lord. However, if I'm honest, there have been many more moments in...

by Brandi Pillow Mark 12:31 "The second is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." I have never felt called to the mission field, at least not in the "traditional" sense. I never imagined living in a foreign country, or felt the pull to serve in an inner city somewhere. Once I became a teacher, I saw the cl...

One thing that I have really noticed lately is that I have been so focused on always looking at the big picture without taking any time to "stop and smell the roses" as some might say. My eyes were opened to this while at work a few weeks back and has really made me think about it ever since. We were prepping for a big visit from some people out of our corporate office so ...

Westminster supports a variety of missions, both local and abroad. Each month, we feature one of these as our "Mission of the Month" in order for our members to become more familiar with that particular mission's work for the Gospel. Our June "Mission of the Month" is Reformed Theological Seminary. RTS is near and dear to the heart of Westminster as it is the alma mater o...

by Johnny Smith I recently attended a 3 day team building exercise for our office that greatly facilitated the transition of my practice to its new owner. On the first day we took a short quiz that revealed our personal styles at work and then we shared our results with the group. My style was revealed as a "Pleaser-Analytic" and we all agreed that this rings true for me....

by T.Mac Howard "Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere, go tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is Lord!" It has been a long time since I have thought about that song, but after the last two Sunday school classes on WPC's mission and evangelism, I realized I rarely "tell it on the mountain" about the HOPE I have in Jesus Christ. Some could call...
