Echoes from Emmanuel, Sept-Oct 1978
Pulpit to Pew by Pastor Eckman:

“The church on the highway pointing men to the HIGH WAY!” ? As a grade school boy I recall hearing the voice of my pastor, Fred Stair, declaring the good news of God’s word over the airwaves of a radio station near my home town of Barron, Wis. He would conclude each broadcast by saying the above statement. The

My friend, if you’re lost and frustrated, we know the One who is THE WAY to heaven! We can introduce you to Him, it is Jesus Christ who said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” John 14:6. Tru…

Evangelical Hermeneutics, Part 1
“Hermeneutics is the science and art of Biblical interpretation.” So Bernard Ramm begins his helpful book on Bible interpretation. “It is a science,” he says, “because it is guided by rules within a system; and it is an art because the application of the rules is by skill, and not by mechanical imitation.”1 We need a

Who is Jesus? The Creator of All Things

There’s a story of a young skeptic who told an elderly Christian lady, “I once believed there was a God, but now, since studying philosophy and mathematics, I am convinced that God is but an empty word.”

Who is Jesus? The Light of Men
What is Light?

Did you know that one of the most mysterious things in all the world is light? Something virtually every one of us experiences on a daily basis is one of the least understood elements of the physical world. Scientists have spent centuries trying to discover the fundamental nature of light only to be stymied time after

Christ is light in that he is the One who brings reality into focus. It is his nature to reveal the truth about our humanity and God’s divinity. He reveals our true nature and condition as fallen, …

Echoes from Emmanuel, July 1979
Parson to Person by Pastor Eckman:

“In God we trust” is still on our coins and will remain there. Just this past week I heard the wonderful news of a Supreme Court decision to retain the national motto on our coins. “In God we trust” was a joint resolution adopted by congress on July 20, 1956. It gives God His rightful place in the life of this

Barb said she felt the Lord’s leading all of her life and He finally got her to come to Him. For about three Sundays she held back and wouldn’t go forward, but God finally won the victory and she a…
