The Haxtun Berean Bible Church has begun a new and innovative model for their Sunday morning church service. Instead of hiring a full-time pastor, HBBC has partnered with New Hope Church in Ogallala, Neb. “This is a model that many rural churches are exploring,” said Rick Lockwood, an elder at HBBC. “It just isn’t economically feasible for some smaller churches such as ours to have a full-time pastor.” Today’s technology makes it possible; New Hope Church in Ogallala provides the preaching via video. And if a pastor is needed for weddings, f...

I daydream of my kids' future careers: a doctor, a farmer, a scientist, an investor, a teacher. I want them to be successful and strive for their...
Over centuries, Christendom has cast itself in many roles; protector of faith, guardian of the masses, religious surrogate, zealous recruiter. To say it has been completely above board in accomplishing those aims would be a stretch. Like other components of today’s grand society, elements of victimhood creep into the equation in alarming proportion. Begin with a need, open the door to identifying fear associated with that need, dress it up as cause celebre, wrap it in nationalistic fervor, then...
The West, she's a changin'. New faces, new houses, new ideas. Along with these changes come new roles for us "natives." As people unfamiliar with the area move in, we “old timers” find ourselves becoming 'guides' to living in this environment. I'm personally OK with that.
