Treasures New and Old
Called to LightTreasures New and Old is taken from Matthew 13:52: “Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.” You can expect to find some well-known truths and doctrines of the faith as well as some new things that you might have not thought about or did not understand. We all need reminders of our Lord’s teachings – lest we forget His calling to us. But we also need to be stimulated unto love and good works with insights we may not have seen yet in our walk. This section of our website tries to provide that service.
