The person who writes for a Conservative Mennonite publisher faces one extremely important question. How can I make my story leave a proper Christian witness, give it a Scriptural flavor, and have it turn out “right” while still keeping it realistic?
It is a blessing to the church to have a constant stream of new “outsiders” coming into the church. It is a blessing to have a rising generation who articulates their doubts about practices of the past. These force us to evaluate our norm, our status quo, to bring it in line with eternal truth.

If human life is created by God, in His own likeness, it must be highly valued. Since God is the author of life, it is His prerogative to decide the beginning and the ending of it. We accept His standard as our own and protect the precious lives He has placed in our care.
Hell is an awful place and it is not God's will that any one go there. So He has set up a number of obstacles designed to help the sinner turn back from his downward path. We can bypass them if we choose, but God has done His part to help us reach heaven.

God hates all sin and so if we are trying to please Him we must avoid the things He finds disgusting. In Proverbs we are given a list of seven things that are abominations to Him.
One of the truths repeated over and over again in the Bible is the fact that Jesus Christ is coming to the earth twice. None of us knows just when He is going to come again but the Scripture clearly implies that it is possible for us to see the day of the Lord approaching.
Do you think your soul is affected by listening to Rock 'n' Roll? This poem is one author's vivid insights into ways that Satan uses Rock 'n' Roll to control souls.
Principles of life, taken from the Giver of Life. Let us, who have a legacy of faith in Him, be among the heroes who rise to challenges of our day, and permit Him to be sovereign in our family planning and life choices. "Glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." 1 Cor. 6:20
Spiritual God-given gifts to Christians are an asset to the church. Some have to do with speaking or serving, such as the gifts of evangelism, teaching, prophecy, faith, and giving. What a privilege to be able to be of some service to the church!
The fine-tuned design of our solar system reiterates the fact that there is a Creator who formed this earth to be inhabited. Just imagine the power and wisdom required to create all these heavenly bodies and keep them on exactly the right path over thousands of years. How amazing and awesome God is!
