Who answers your “911” calls in life? Many of us find out we’re painfully alone in our times of distress. My practiced confidence is that God hears my prayers. Listen in and let me know what you think.

Why do we say, "In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit", if there's only one God? Because in our Christian faith God is known to us in different ways: God the Creator, God the Redeemer (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit (the Sustainer, as Jesus said). Here's some thoughts on the Holy Spirit.

What does it mean to be a "Success"? Here's the standard our First Congregational Church of Beloit uses. Join us to become a success in your life.

“What is success?
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
