Since Pastor Gary is away this week, we are sharing a Covenant Brethren Church Devotional Moment from Pastor Larry Dentler.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, January 28, 2025, I had the privilege to share with the Curryville Church in Pennsylvania to celebrate their becoming a Covenant Brethren Church congregation.  It was a great day of worship and celebration.  The Curryville folks have worked a long while since deciding in conscience, after much prayer and conversation, to leave the Church of the Brethren and join CBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the worship service Sister Kellie Hileman shared a wonderful, poignant children\u2019s story, and I told her I was \u201cstealing\u201d it!  Thank you, Sister Kellie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Kellie invited the children to the front pew, she told them she was sad.  Stressed.  The children leaned in.  She was very convincing.  She told them that her car\u2019s \u201ccheck engine\u201d light had come on and she didn\u2019t know what to do!  She decided to look in \u201cthe book.\u201d  The kids nodded in agreement.  Good idea!  Then she picked up a stack of books and handed one to each child.  One got the owner\u2019s manual for her coffee maker.  They next got the manual for their lawn mower.  Another child got the owner\u2019s guide from their television.  On down the line she went.  Each child got an owner\u2019s manual from some appliance or tool in Kellie\u2019s home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then she asked them, \u201cCan you help me?\u201d  Look in this book and see if you can find what I should do to fix the \u201ccheck engine\u201d light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The children began to pour through the manuals diligently.  They were very serious about helping her.  But one child finally said, \u201cWe need the book from the car!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And with that, Sister Kellie began to explain that it is important what book we look to for answers.  And for us, the right book is God\u2019s Word, the Bible!  Perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We live in a day, in a culture, where there are lots of sources for wisdom, answers, lifestyle choices and direction.  But there is only one Book that is our perfect guidebook for life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you look to the Bible daily for the answers to the questions you face?  When you face a \u201cbiggie\u201d in life is the Bible the place you look for guidance.  Sister Kellie got it right!  There\u2019s one Book we should all look to daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the best sermon of the day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery word of God is flawless\u2026\u201d  Proverbs 30:5 NIV<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.\u201d  2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV<\/p>\n\n\n\n
