- By Pastor Anthony Palmquist, Bethany Luverne ChurchMay 24, 2016Sometime very soon, you — yes, you — will be whisked away into eternity for your afterlife. The afterlife — that's more than just a weekend away. That's more than just a short vacation lasting a week or two, or even a month. That's something that will last forever and ever! It would seem like everybody should be thinking about their accommodations for the afterlife. After all, we…

- By Dick Lauger, pastor First Baptist ChurchApril 27, 2016One of the characteristics of a Postmodern culture is the supreme importance of friendship. Postmodernism denies the existence of truth. Instead truth is defined by one’s circle of friends.

A circle of friends is…

- By Kristi Franken, Adrian/Magnolia United Methodist ChurchApril 20, 2016As the hospice chaplain for Sanford, I am often asked the question, “How can you stand to be around a dying person?” Well, let me see if I can enlighten you, the reader, a little bit about this fear of being around the dying. Death is a part of life and it does not go away. It happens to everyone and there are people who would rather sweep it “under the rug” and hope it will go away. It does not…

- By Pastor Anthony Palmquist, Bethany Luverne ChurchMarch 29, 2016Do you enjoy going to church on Sunday? Or on Saturday or Wednesday? There are many opportunities to do so here in Luverne and the surrounding area. In 2013 the Pew Research Center reported that 37 percent of all Americans attended church on a weekly basis.
