The Church and Drinking

Posted on March 12, 2013 by Spencer McGuire • 0 Comments

So this previous Sunday, Greg went over John 2. In John 2 we see Jesus’ first miracle, where he turned water into wine. This specific passage can bring up some concerns as far as how we as Christians should deal with the consumption of alcohol. The Village Church has a great article on this very subject, so instead of re-inventing the wheel, we will just link you to their site! Please feel free to discuss any questions or comments here, and we as a staff will be happy to respond to anything you can come up with!

Now, I know those of you with more life experience might be chuckling at my exasperation with this vicious cycle of adulthood,… Continue Reading

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.” And just as a year has four seasons (spring, summer, fall and winter), my year also had seasons.

Well, somehow 2012 is almost over and I have no idea where it went. I try to think back on what has happened this year, but honestly, all of those memories have been overshadowed by the child God blessed Hannah and I with this summer. Even as Christmas approaches, I can’t help but think this… Continue Reading

Playing With Fire

Posted on October 24, 2012 by Spencer McGuire • 0 Comments

You can ask anyone in my family, I enjoy playing with fire. Literally, I have a blast with it. When I was a kid I had an almost-burned-the-house-down moment when I was playing with matches. So as any right minded parent would do, my mom told me to never play with fire, it was dangerous… Continue Reading
