  • It’s not a Rainbow

    Call the Pride flag whatever you may like, but it is not a Rainbow. My grand children were watching Sesame Street last week and they taught what every science teacher has taught: R.O.Y. – G. – B.I.V. (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet). The Rainbow that is created in the sky is 7…

  • Don’t tie your theology to science!

    Don’t tie your theology to science!

    There are far too many Bible-believing Christians who are drawn to the modern science theories of the origin of the earth.  While traditionally the Christian has held to the absolute authority of Scripture and thus to a literal interpretation of the Genesis account of creation, the overriding belief today in the science of evolution has…

  • An Outward Focused Church

    An Outward Focused Church

    On Sunday evening November 18, 2018 Pastor Wes challenged his church at Cedar Hill Baptist in Dillsburg, PA to become an Outward Focused Church.  In Matthew 9:9-13 we see where Jesus met Levi (Matthew) the tax collector and told him to “Follow Me”.  They ate at Levi’s house which was packed with sinners wanting to…

  • A stark example for us from Daniel.

    A stark example for us from Daniel.

    While preaching from Daniel 9, I was struck by this fact: Daniel’s prayer in this passage was answered as he was “praying and confessing my sin and the sin of my people, Israel”.  Verse 5 tells us “we have sinned and have committed iniquity”.  Daniel was confessing and seeking forgiveness for the nation of Israel.…

  • Truth is fallen in the streets

    A couple years ago I preached a message about the relative nature of truth in a Post-modern culture.  The fact that truth has become whatever one thinks it to be and it is wrong to tell them that they are wrong.  If an individual thinks that 2 + 2 = 5, then that is truth…

  • Reaching Millennials for Christ.

  • My prayer for my children is that they are more than just happy.

    I have heard so many parents tell me lately “I just want my kids to be happy”. Unfortunately, this has now crossed thresholds in our Christian homes that places a value on happiness over all else – even sin.  There have been a number of instances where an adult, married child has decided to leave…

  • Underestimating False Information

    by Pastor Wes Gunther During World War II the British were very effective at using ‘Black Propaganda’ which is better know today as Disinformation – or False Information.  During the War the British began at least two radio stations which both claimed to be broadcasting from Germany. One was geared toward the German citizens and…
