Pathfinder Church | June 7, 2026 | AJ MasticWe have an innate sense that life should be fair. And certainly, if we have a just God, then he should enforce fairness. But how do we define what's truly “fair,” considering all possible factors?Website | https://pathfinderstl.orgOnline Giving | https://pathfinderstl.org/givePodcasts | https://pathfinderstl.org/podcastsFacebook | https://facebook.com/pathfinderstlInstagram |  https://instagram.com/pathfinderstlSt. John School | http://stjls.orgContact Us | churchinfo@pathfinderstl.orgWebsite | https://pathfinderstl.orgOnline Giving | https://pathfinderstl.org/givePodcasts | https://pathfinderstl.org/podcastsFacebook | https://facebook.com/pathfinderstlInstagram |  https://instagram.com/pathfinderstlSt. John School | https://stjls.orgContact Us | churchinfo@pathfinderstl.org

Pathfinder Church | May 24, 2026 | Doug MaussWe all know we should care for others. But how much, exactly? Are someone else's bad circumstances my problem, or their own fault? Too much care, and we become martyrs. Too little care and we become misers.

Pathfinder Church | May 17, 2026 | Dion GarrettPeople being under authority is a gift of God, to establish and maintain order. But what kind of authority is holy, and what level of obedience do Christians owe to unjust authorities? Giving too much power to authorities results in fascism; too little results in anarchy.

Pathfinder Church | May 10, 2026 | AJ MasticLoyalty is important. It's what binds groups together. But too much loyalty can lead us to tolerate or excuse immoral behavior from our in-group, while magnifying the flaws of outsiders. At its most extreme, loyalty creates cults. On the other hand, too little loyalty prevents us from forming bonds of safety and trust. It can lead to individualism and self-centeredness.

Honest Scales in a Crooked World, April 8, 2026 by Bible Baptist Church - Brookings, SD

Message from Aaron Jenkins on 15/02/2026

Upside Down | Pastor Tom Feola | www.cffchurch.org

December 14, 2025 Daily Devotional: “Straight Paths in a Crooked World” ​Proverbs 3:5-6  "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." ​What a powerful verse that offers a complete roadmap for a life of peace and divine guidance! It acknowledges a fundamental tension in the human experience which is the pull between our own understanding and God's wisdom. The Word of the Lord commands us to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart." The heart, in biblical terms, is the seat of our will, emotions, and intellect, it's the whole inner person. This isn't a partial trust, but a complete, unconditional surrender. When we fully entrust the steering wheel of our lives to God, we are then empowered to fulfill the second part of the instruction that is to "lean not on your own understanding." ​Our understanding is often limited, clouded by fear, self-interest, and finite knowledge. It's like trying to navigate a vast, unknown territory using only a small, local map. God, however, holds the entire blueprint. The promise comesat the end: "he will make your paths straight." This doesn't mean the path will be easy or free of challenge, but it will be clear, direct, and aligned with His perfect will. When we choose to submit and acknowledge God in everything we do, in our work, our relationships, our decisions, and even our failures, He takes responsibility for our destination. ​Today, where are you leaning? Is it on your own exhausted calculations, or on the infinite wisdom of the Lord? ​ Can you identify one major decision or area of uncertainty you are currently facing? Instead of trying to "figure it out" for the next hour, intentionally pause. Say a quick prayer acknowledging God's sovereignty over it. Write downthe phrase: "I will lean on God, not my own understanding, for my challenges.

December 4 - Cut it Straight - Jason Grissom

In this episode of Hope for the Caregiver, I share three ordinary moments from life in our Montana cabin that turned into extraordinary lessons for caregivers. First, I finally leveled our refrigerator—a small victory that reminded me how good it feels to make one crooked thing straight in a world that leans. Then I talk about a tough situation a friend faced with her aging father, and what it really means to honor our parents when impairment or sin clouds their judgment. Using the story of Noah and his sons, I call it "walking backward with a blanket"—protecting dignity even when it's painful. Finally, as I cleaned the big new windows in our addition for Gracie, I saw a picture of how resentment, fear, and fatigue can cloud our hearts—and how only Christ can wash us clean. The episode ends at the caregiver keyboard with one of my favorite hymns, Fairest Lord Jesus, and a reminder that He truly makes the woeful heart to sing.

When the world feels upside down, how do we stay faithful? In this message from Ecclesiastes 8, Pastor Darrell Underwood shows how true wisdom waits for God's timing, fears Him above all, and finds joy even when justice seems delayed.

Not of This World: Daniel - "Straight Arrow; Crooked World" (Daniel 4) At the heart of the cultural crisis is our pride. Pride is the root of sin—the chief sin. We want to be our own God. You hear it in our cultural slogans: "You do you," "Find your own truth." Our world desperately needs people who will shoot straight in a world of distortion. What does it take for a believer to be straight as an arrow in a crooked world?

God is not to blame for this crooked world.

Gary discusses several recent instances of Christians not being able to answer basic challenges to a biblical worldview. The Bible speaks about all of life, not only how to go to heaven or how to pray. God's law lays out the rules for society and how individual behavior affects a culture, for good and for bad. Christianity has answers for every objection that is brought against it, but most modern Christians have not been prepared and taught how to think biblically.  Watch the Darwinist abortionist video here.
