This week will mark our first full week in our new home here in Fuquay-Varina. Having moved most of our things from Ringgold, the Mooneyhams can now say we are settled! The past few weeks have been quite busy for us, and along with a wide range of emotions...Keep Reading

One day Leslie noticed I was stressing out from responsibilities at home and work, so she graciously gave me a free pass and said, "I have everything covered here. Why don't you go somewhere by yourself, take your Bible and just take a break?" She was so wise. I needed that. I went to Bass Lake, sat down on the dock and began reading 1 Timothy. ...Keep Reading

This is a special day. Today I pass the baton, the torch of the pastoral care of the loving people of Wake Chapel Christian Church to Isaac Mooneyham. But I decided rather to pass a sword to him because the Word of God is the center of this church and his ministry. ...Keep Reading

The Apostle Paul was not reluctant to mention the names of those who posed a threat to the furtherance of the gospel and the health of the church and also the names of those whose lives had been a blessing to others....Keep Reading

When my dad, a country preacher, took a church in the city, he was in the habit of helping needy people. They began knocking on our door almost every day. He gave them clothes, food and money. Their stories of need were convincing. Often, they would eat at our table and listen to our devotions. They even put an X on the sidewalk to let other “men of the road” know where to get a handout. My dad was such a “soft touch” that we often were pretty tight financially....Keep Reading

“As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you” (Isaiah 66:13) In these comforting words we see a very tender and compassionate image of our God. We’re used to thinking of God in the masculine sense. When teaching His disciples how to pray, Jesus told them to address God as “Our Father.” Yet here, God reveals that His nature is not limited to a small stereotypical viewpoint. God is much more profound than that. “God is spirit” (John 4:24), and likens Himself to many fatherly and motherly characteristics....Keep Reading

Remembering God’s word strengthens our faith, shapes the way we view the world, helps us overcome temptation, and helps us detect wrongful thinking in the world, and opens a direct line of communication from God to us. Here are some interesting facts about the how the brain works, and how we can apply them to how we learn scripture....Keep Reading

In Luke 8:26-39 we have an account of the confrontation between Jesus and a man with a “legion” of demons. Demons are angels who followed the Devil when he sinned against God. These are spirit beings who act in the world by inhabiting the bodies of humans and animals to work against God....Keep Reading

“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.” (1 Timothy 4:1-3) ...Keep Reading
